Product: BenQ S30 Price: $2,280 Pros: Camera and solid MP3 player for the price of only one of these devices Cons: Quality of LCD is poor

There are good and bad things to be said about Taiwanese electronics maker BenQ's latest digital camera.

On paper, everything about it beats the pants off rivals. The most obvious feature the S30 has going for it is its integrated MP3 player and FM radio.

In addition to its fairly solid audio capabilities, the S30 camera boasts a three-megapixel resolution, a 3x optical zoom lens and the ability to record movies just like the best models in its class.

It offers the most of both worlds for the price of only one device. The price itself is a reasonable $2,280 - cheaper than some mid-range three-megapixel cameras.

Alas, if only BenQ had built a better product.
