Acer CP-8660 Review
The Acer CP-8660, a feature-laden 8.2-megapixel camera launched last month talks the talk, but doesn’t seem to walk the walk, according to a TrustedReviews’ review of the digital camera.
Although the specifications of the 8660 are great considering its £200+ recommended retail price (e.g. 8.2MP CCD, 2.8″ LCD screen, anti-shake system, manual exposure control, etc.), its slow performance, underpowered flash, and almost useless anti-shake system means that there are better choices already out in the market (in contrast, the CP-8660 will only be available from August).
So, it shouldn’t be surprising that the CP-8660 was only awarded an overall rating of 6 out of 10, with a rather critical verdict, “The CP-8660 is, as I said at the start, an audacious camera but as it turns out, overly so. It does offer a unique combination of features but performance is slow and the anti-shake system is largely ineffective. However, picture quality is generally adequate and the 6x zoom range is very useful. The problem is that there are better cameras on the market that can beat it in every respect, and for about the same price.”
