BenQ DC C50
February 9, 2010 BenQ, Cameras, Digital Cameras
The body is constructed from metal and the build quality feels sturdy. In the hand, the DC C50 feels well-balanced and your thumb falls nicely over the rocker switch which controls the 3x optical (and 4x digital) zoom. Instead of a going for a bulky grip BenQ has added a bobbled surface to the front to help you keep a firm purchase, while keeping the DC C50 at a suitable size for your a pocket.
The rest of the controls are shifted to the right side of the body and are easily operated with your thumb too. That said, those who are left-handed will obviously find this arrangement more awkward. On the right side, there’s also a small command dial which I have to say is probably the worst feature of the DC C50’s design.
