PhotographyBLOG‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The BenQ G1 is a compact camera with a fast f/1.8-4.9 lens and a swivelling rear screen. Billed as the world’s slimmest camera in its class, the BenQ G1 is built around a 14-megapixel sensor and a 24-110mm equivalent lens that features optical image stabilisation and an ultra-bright f/1.8 maximum aperture at the wide end. The articulated, 3-inch screen offers a resolution of 920,000 dots and a wide colour gamut for more saturated colours and realistic images. Other highlights include full HD video capture, a mode dial with manual and semi-automatic shooting modes, a ‘Handheld Night Shot’ mode, a ‘Background Defocus’ filter, several creative filters and a continuous shooting mode of 6 frames per second. The BenQ G1 costs £279.

The BenQ G1 originally interested us due to the compact size, bright lens, and swivel screen, and seemingly high specification and manual controls. However, the extremely slow focus speed and shot to shot time, as well as the slow switch on time makes it very difficult to recommend. In the recent tests of BenQ cameras, they have all had slower than normal focus, the BenQ G1, the slowest of them all. The BenQ G1 is quite good value for money at around £200 including a two year warranty and leather style case, however you'd have to be pretty patient to want this as your main camera. Perhaps if they could significantly improve speed, and add RAW then this could be a contender.
