Acer brings out 8megapixel camera

Acer has brought out its latest digital camera, the 8megapixel CP-8660.

Better known for its laptops and monitors, this is Acer's flagship camera, despite its non-descript name.

Acer_camera The lightweight, compact camera has a 6X optical zoom (and an 8.5X digital zoom, but forget this - digital zooms never produce great photos), and 25MB of internal memory, enough for a handful of shots only, but a good backup if the SD card is full.

The CP-8660 is Acer's first camera to come with anti-shake technology, although this feature is increasingly common now. It helps get sharp pictures in low light.

It takes video at 30 frames per second, plus you can voice tag your images - always useful for remembering what you got up to after a heavy night out.
