Review of the Acer CR-8530

Acer CR-8530

With its 8MP CCD capable of producing large 16 x 12in prints at 200dpi, the CR-8530 offers manual controls in a compact format at a very reasonable price. It has a full set of exposure modes, accessed by turning the mode dial, which is scratch prone. You adjust the shutter and aperture by pressing the ‘Set’ button and using the arrow keys on the four-way control.
