In addition, the BenQ S30 features 3.34 Mega-pixels, 3X optical zoom, and an 180º flip-out LCD preview screen. The BenQ DC S30 enables users to enjoy the integrated both FM radio and MP3 playback function. Furthermore, the BenQ DC S30 acquires an integrated speaker that allows play-out music and is bundled with Q-Music software for easy music editing. Also, with the fine MSRE (Metal Resonance Sound Effect) system, the DC S30 delivers high audio quality despite its diminutive size.

Armed with a lithium-ion battery and unique DRS (Dual Recharge System), BenQ DC S30 users will no longer have to be dependent on recharging power indoor whilst using an adapter. With its DRS it is now possible to recharge outdoor by connecting an USB cable to your notebook to reload the battery life of your S30.

The camera’s color LCD screen can flip-out a full 180º that gives users the flexibility to capture images from virtually any angle, including self-portraits.

The BenQ DC S30 has the ability to capture continuous lengths of video, making it a completely functional compact digital camcorder. Supporting the ASF format and with a 256MB memory card, up to 70 minutes of incessant video can be stored. Voice memos can be added up to 20 seconds long to captured photographs. The BenQ S30 will be available in February.
