It’s cheap, and it can take some nice photos…
There’s a lot of nice things to say about the Canon Powershot A580, according to Laptop. Here’s what their initial impressions were…
Overall Image Quality
On our still life tests, the A580 exhibited very good color and sharp focus, but it overexposed everything by two-thirds of a stop. Our real-life interior and macro shots were highly accurate, though. On the other hand, while our outdoor action shots were sharp, the highlights were blown out.
Decent-Looking Video
Although its fastest frame rate is only 20 fps at VGA (640 x 480) resolution, the A580’s videos looked smooth and the sound was clear and loud. We also like that you can slow the video down during playback on the LCD, sans sound.
Verdict
Canon has assembled a good mix of ergonomics, features, and image quality, at an affordable price with the A580. And it looks, feels, and shoots like a camera that costs more than $149.
It looks like this is a good buy if you’re wanting a solid point-and-shoot camera. For the full review, head on over to Laptop.
