Canon Powershot A580 Review at PhotographyBLOG

May 20, 2008 By Eric Reagan

PhotographyBLOG has published a full review of the new 8 megapixel Canon Powershot A580. The A580 is the little brother to the Image Stabilized A590 IS. The A580 features a 4x optical zoom, the option of fully automatic or semi-automatic settings and 16 selectable shooting modes.

Image quality has also exceeded my expectations in terms of detail, colour accuracy, AWB consistency and centre sharpness. A well-exposed and properly focused ISO 80 shot will produce an excellent 30x40cm print, with ISO 800 still enjoyable at the common 10x15cm size.

Canon Powershot A580 Review at Imaging Resource

May 10, 2008 By Eric Reagan

Imaging Resource has posted a review of the Canon Powershot A580.

Canon’s inexpensive A Series PowerShot still packs a DIGIC III, providing some very advanced features. It’s Easy mode makes it no problem to hand off but it does lack any manual control. Image quality was generally good, capturing natural color with excellent detail.
