BenQ debuts high-ISO X835 camera

BenQ has introduced a new digital camera, the X835. The eight-megapixel compact is notable mainly for its high ISO sensitivities, which allow it to capture images with ambient light where it might otherwise need flash; although visual noise may increase dramatically, the camera can handle up to ISO 2000 in still mode, or up to 6400 when recording a movie. This contrasts with most compacts, which tend to limit themselves to ISO 800 or 1600. Video consists of 30fps MPEG-4 shot at VGA resolution.

The camera has a Pentax lens with 3x optical zoom, and previews images on a 2.5-inch LCD; storage consists of 16MB of internal memory, combined with an SD/SDHC slot that supports cards up to 4GB in size. Prices and release dates are unavailable, but the camera should be out soon in red and black colors.

iPod Compatible?

Why is it so hard to find out if a camera's movie mode is compatible with the iPod/iPone/AppleTV? Saying it is MPEG4 isn't enough.
