Full review

I bought this camera on line from online for £164.22 inc VAT which I think is reasonable for a digital camera with 5-megapixel.

The camera came with a good instruction manual explaing clearly what the functions and abilities of the camera were.

There was also a cd with relevent drivers for transfering photos to your PC quick and easy.

I also got a black carry case of good quality with the camera that houses the cam very well and makes it easy to carry.

Although the camera is quite small with dimensions off Width-89 mm,Depth-24 mm, Height -55 mm and a Weight -180 g it is very easy to fit a a hand bag or pocket.

The camera has a 2.5-inch TFT LCD screen to show amazing detalied photos and allow you to delete and edit as you wish on the move.

With 5-megapixels the camera can take tremendous quality photos and mini moviesit has a 3x zoom and a 100-shot battery life.

With this quite small camera you can also take full screen VGA (640x 480) video.

It has a rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery that last upto 100 shots, other main features are a focus Length: 5.4~16.2mm, Focus Range:Normal: 50cm - Macro 35cm .

Flash Working Distance: Wide: 0.5-2.7M - Tele 0.5-2.4M, Flash Modes: Auto, On, Off, Anti-Red-Eye for my gran.

The CS-5531 had with it a 64MB memory card but I shall upgrade this when the prices lower to maybe a 128mb or 256mb card to store more photos.

You can also print the photos out from your PC as they are compatible with most forms of photo software and printers.

I use a lexmark p706, not the best quality but ok for what I need and I use microdoft picture it to fool around with my pictures.

As I am not a proffesional and take my card to tescos to have them printed or put on CD.

The camera is a handy tool small compact and a good price although there are better standards of camera out now for tghe smae price if I had waited I would never have got one.

So I chose the Acer CS-5531 and love it to bits.
