Canon PowerShot A580 Reviewed

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.
