Taiwan’s BenQ has been upgrading its digital camera line, today announcing its DC X735 digital camera, featuring a 2.5-inch LCD, 7.2 megapixel resolution, face tracking, and high ISO sensitivity—all packed into a slim 14.7 mm-thick frame (12.5 mm at its thinnest).

The X735 replaced the X725 in BenQ’s lineup, which the company only recently debuted in June of this year. The new model features a 3× optical zoom, USB 2.0 connectivity, PictBridge compatibility, an an NTSC/PAL audio/video output for showing images or video on a television screen. The X735 also features BenQ’s Super Shake Free system designed to reduce blurring and due to camera motion, and features ISO 2,000 sensitivity (with a high setting of ISO 6,400) for taking images in low-light conditions. Users can also use the X735 to record VGA resolution MPEG4 video at 30 frames per second in either traditional or widescreen 16:9 format. The camera has 16 MB of built-in memory, but primarily stores images to SD cards.
