Remember back in july when i said that i will buy a new digicam ? Well back then i wanted to buy that digicam but things didn’t work out right so i didn’t buy it.
Yesterday a new promotion popped up(-33% off regualr price) at MediaGalaxy(local electornics/IT&C shop) so i took the advantage and bought a new digicam - BENQ DC C640 at a great price - 115$ along with a 1Gb SD card - 20$.
The camera works great, it has 6megapixels along with 3x optical zoom using smc Pentax Lens and a wide 2.5 inch LCD display with 2 years of warranty. Along with these features what captivated my attention was the price and the lots of features that the camera has:
- Program Mode - The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture based on the scene lighting. Program mode offers the ease of auto shooting with full access to all menu options.
- Aperture Priority - The camera automatically sets the shutter speed for proper exposure. Aperture priority mode is primarily used to control depth of field.
- Shutter Priority - The camera automatically sets the aperture for proper exposure. Shutter priority mode is primarily used to prevent blur when your subject is moving. To prevent camera shake, use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.
- Manual - You set the aperture and shutter speed; exposure compensation changes as a result of those settings.
- Face-Tracking function - C640 can automatically detect and track human face, lock on and focus. Simple click the shutter and enjoy the applause from everyone else!
- Shake Free Mode - BenQ’s Shake-Free mode helps you eliminate the chance of getting blurry photo.
- High ISO Portrait Mode - High ISO protrait mode enables you to take aesthetic photos under dim light evironment. In a romantic restaurant, a beautiful art gallery or a museum where flash cannot be used
As stated above the digicam comes with 2 years of warranty and in case of defection i just need to call a TOLL FREE 0800 number and they will come and pick it up and take it to service from my house - cool isn’t it? 
Edit: Here are some pictures made with the digicam as Cleo requested:
The full sized images are 1.51MB each so please leave some time for the full preview to load.

nowadays you can find 1.3MP webcams for 20$ or so and VGA cams for 8-9$
