A great review by Trusted Reviews on the Acer CP-8660 was completed where they write, 'Battery life is good. The CP-8660 is powered by a fairly hefty 1250mAh Lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Acer makes no specific claims for its duration, but I took around 100 shots and several video clips with it and the battery indicator was still registering as 2/3 full. Assuming it is accurate I would estimate that it’s good for at least 250-300 shots. The battery is charged in the camera by a supplied mains adapter.Another major plus point is the excellent 2.8 inch LCD monitor. It has a quick response time, and with 230k pixels it is nice and sharp.

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.'
