Sharp pictures, minimal chromatic aberration, motion detection, custom white balance

Some colour issues, noise a little higher than normal

A solid entry-level camera, the Canon PowerShot A580 takes good shots and offers most of the features a beginner needs at an affordable price.

Good detail and color at lower sensitivities ; Consistently reliable metering and AF ; High ISO JPEG output usable up to ISO 12800 for smaller prints ; Low shadow noise levels at lower sensitivities ; Good dynamic range ; Good quality 1080p full-HD...

Quite aggressive noise reduction from ISO 1600 upwards ; Limited control over high ISO noise reduction in JPEG mode ('auto' or 'weak') ; Limited control in movie mode ; Occasionally unreliable white balance in low artificial light ; Limited...

The Sony DSLR-A580 is an excellent all-round performer but also offers a range of innovative features. It's a great alternative to more 'traditional' DSLRs and Sony's unique dual live view system makes it the ideal compromise for those who like the...

Inexpensive, even for an entry-level camera. Face detection.

Fewer features than the $179.99 PowerShot A590 IS. Bulky, boring design.

Great pictures for little investment; intuitive operation; advanced face detection for its class.

Feels and looks cheap; bulky; slow shot-to-shot performance, especially with flash.

It's slow and unglamorous, but the Canon PowerShot A580 captures good pictures at a low price.

Accessible controls ; Decent images

Lacks panache ; Vanilla feature set ; No optical image stabilisation

Puppy-dog styling and an anonymous feature set leave the Canon PowerShot A580 feeling short of personality. Cameras from the IXUS or Lumix ranges, such as Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5, are much sleeker and more innovative, if more expensive. If you're...

The Canon PowerShot A580 is a worthy successor to an entire line of moderately priced, yet capable compact cameras marketed by Canon over the past couple of years. In two weeks of use, I have found basic operation to be highly intuitive, with the...

DIGIC III image processor just like the big boys ; Motion detection to adjust ISO for best exposure ; Facial detection for portraits and to confirm those smiles afterwards ; Good body design, easy to hold and lightweight ; Good color saturation ; Good...

Difficult battery/card compartment latch ; Burned out highlights with blooming ; Poor digital zoom ; Flash washes out extreme Macro shots ; High barrel distortion ; High chromatic aberration at wide angle ; Soft corners at wide angle ; High contrast in...

The Canon PowerShot A580 has an eight megapixel CCD imager coupled with a Canon-branded 4x optical zoom lens. Images are framed on the 115,000 pixel 2.5-inch LCD display, or using the optical viewfinder. Photos and movies are stored on SD / MMC cards,...

Excellent 16.2-megapixel sensor ; Competitive high ISO performance ; Very good dynamic range ; In-body image stabilization ; Stellar battery life ; Fast frame rates ; Speedy performance overall ; Autofocus in "Quick AF" Live View mode is as fast as (or...

Sweep Panorama needs improving ; Creaking in grip ; Phase-detection AF a bit hit and miss sometimes (could be limited to our test units) ; No AF fine-tuning ; Multi-Frame shooting can be quite noisy ; Only two Noise Reduction settings (Auto, Weak); no...

The 16.2-megapixel Sony Alpha A580 comes with many refinements that make it a far more usable camera than its predecessors, making it a more significant contender in the market for mid-range digital SLRs. Starting with its heft and improved controls,...
