The Acer CP-8660 is a new 8 megapixel point and shoot digital camera with a 6x Optical Zoom lens and 2.8 inch LCD screen.
It features 25 megabytes of internal memory, anti-shake DSP and it weighs 180 grams.
Acer CP-8660 News Release
Acer, one of the world's leading proponents of the convergence between PCs and Digital Entertainment, further enhances its range of professional Digital Still Camera with the new 8-megapixel Acer CP-8660.
As Acer's flagship digital camera, the Acer CP-8660 is the result of a winning combination among powerful 8.28 MP resolution, a generous 2.8" LCD screen, long-range Acer precision lens with 6X optical and 8.5X digital zoom capability, great design, 25 MB internal memory and SD card compatibility. In addition, the Acer CP-8660 carries the most appealing price tag within its class
The CP-8660 digital camera is Acer's first camera to be equipped with Anti-shake DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology that overcomes image blur by compensating imperceptible hand movements or the motion of a moving subject. Anti-Shake technology helps achieve the sharpest image possible thanks to electronic image stabilization.
Resolution
With More than 8 MP resolution, the CP-8660 finely reproduces even the smallest detail, giving sharpness and clarity to every shoot. Such resolution is recommended for large prints (up to A3 format) and high-resolution image applications.
Large and great quality display
The Acer CP-8660 also incorporates a generous 2.8" LCD that also uses the latest in LCD technology: LTPS (Low Temperature Poly Silicon). Benefits of this material include increased screen brightness, enhanced durability and improved compactness.
Lens quality and shooting versatility
Equipped with long range Acer precision lens, the Acer CP-8660 features 6X optical and 8.5X digital zoom capability enabling effortless focus on subjects near or far. What's more, 2cm macro mode focal range permits easy and sharp close-up captures.
Great Design
Compactness, first. With dimensions of 96 x 61 x 29 mm, the Acer CP-8660 is extremely manageable guaranteeing extreme confidence and comfort in every shooting situation.
Memory to get started
Offering 25 MB internal memory, the Acer CP-8660 digital camera is ready to shoot wonderful pictures right out of the box. For photo collectors, the CP-8660 can extend its storage capacity up to 1GB with a SD Card.
... and more
The CP-8660 also features video recording (at maximum 640 x 480 pixel resolution at 30 fps), with voice, enabling users to 'voice-caption' their pictures and record their thoughts and ideas while out and about.
The CP-8660 ensures smooth and effortless PC connection thanks to the latest high-speed USB 2.0 interface. Users can download pictures to their computer in a flash, while PictBridge printing compatibility enables rapid photo printing from any PictBridge-compatible printer.
Weighing only 180 grams (without battery), the Acer CP-8660 is elegantly crafted in a matt black aluminium housing, with an ergonomic design that ensures a comfortable grip.
Acer Digital Cameras come with a two years return to base warranty.
Trusted Reviews has a review of the Acer CP-8660 and writes, "Picture quality is of course the most important criteria, and here the CP-8660 can provide good results under the right circumstances. Colour rendition is very natural, and in good light and normal conditions the exposure system produces generally nice shots. Oddly the ‘vivid’ colour mode didn’t appear to make any difference to colour rendition at all. ... 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."
