Typical price: £100
What is it: 10-megapixel compact with 76mm LCD screen
What we think: Capable point-and-shoot with good screen and pictures, but it's let down by a creaky zoom
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 7 November 2007
Tags: benq, noise, compact, shoot
We like:
Big screen; manly build quality; above average images
We don't like:
Small buttons; slow zoom
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The BenQ DC E1000 is another straightforward, capable snapper from BenQ to compete with other simple, user-friendly compacts. The big screen and respectable pictures are big plusses as long as you look out for noise and don't mind a sluggish zoom

The BenQ E1000 is a 10-megapixel compact with a 76mm LCD screen and a host of features, but it's not quite as masculine as the manufacturer claims
