Benq claim proudly that their X800 is the world's thinnest 8 megapixel, with a thickness of less than ten millimeters. If it is the thinnest of them all, may be unsaid. At the thickest parts it is noticeably thicker than, for example Casio 10 megapixel camera EX-S10.
The material is black plastic, but about half the Front in silver. The display is on the whole three inches and make a really good job with its 230 000 pixels, except that it is something hard in the strong sunshine. The lens sits on the top left side of the front, which unfortunately means that it is easy to have right index finger in the way.
