The Acer CU-6530 digital camera reviewed last month by TrustedReviews, and the Acer Aspire E-Series desktops, have each received the internationally renowned Red Dot Design Award for 2006. These awards are presented by Germany’s Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen (DZNW) for outstanding design quality and innovative designs during the annual Red Dot Design Award international competition.

Both the CU-6530 and Aspire E-Series desktops were judged within the Media and Home Electronics category, where judging criteria included the “…product’s degree of innovation, functionality, ergonomic value, durability and ecological soundness.”

These awards follow the 2006 iF Design Awards received by the Acer TravelMate 8200 and 5-Series LCD Monitors earlier this year.

So far, we’ve only had one Acer digicam review (or more accurately, a preview) on this blog. Therefore, this TrustedReviews review on the Acer CU-6530 Digital Camera makes it two.

The review is a favourable one for Acer as the CU-6530 impressed on almost all fronts, except for the built-in flash. TrustedReviews concludes that “The Acer CU-6530 is remarkable value for money, and compares favourably with many more expensive cameras in terms of both performance and picture quality. It is well made, attractively designed and has an above average specification. It also comes with a generous bundle of accessories, although the supplied 64MB card is very slow. All in all, a genuine bargain and an auspicious debut in the UK camera market for Acer.”

They say that “This innovative camera designed to capture every memorable moment and transform them in “digital treasures” to cherish forever encase advanced technology. The new elegant and sophis-ticated camera includes numerous practical functions that let you capture the trends and styles of modern life.
