Canon PowerShot A580 News Release Extract
Sharing most of the features and visual virtues of its image stabilized sibling, the PowerShot A590 IS, including a fast 4X (35mm-140mm equivalent) optical zoom lens, the PowerShot A580 camera features an 8.0 megapixel CCD-type image sensor, the option of fully automatic or semi-automatic settings and 16 easily selectable shooting modes. Incorporating a virtually identical body design as its slightly more feature-rich A-series family member, the PowerShot A580 camera is easily distinguished thanks to the pearlescent silver patina of its equally durable shell and easy to hold grip.

In its Review of the Canon Power shot A580, the Steve’s Digicam writes “Performance from the A580 did not disappoint. It was able to capture its first image after being turned on in just 1.8 seconds. Shutter lag, the time from when you press the shutter release until the camera captures an image, is just 1/10 of a second when pre-focused and 3/10 to 4/10 of a second including autofocus. It is a little slower, however, when using the flash, as it took about 1.5 seconds to capture the image as the camera had to allow the flash to charge first. In single drive mode, the camera will capture 5 images in just 6.9 seconds without the flash and 19.2 seconds with the flash. Again this is a little slow because the charging time of the flash, which is typically slower in models that use AA type batteries. There is also a burst mode, that captures 8-megapixel, SuperFine quality images at a faster rate. I was able to capture 5 frames in just 2.7 seconds, just shy of 2 frames per second (surpassing Canon’s claims of 1.4fps). Burst mode also works with the flash, capturing 5 images in 7 seconds. All our tests were completed using an A-Data MyFlash Turbo MMC+ 200x 2GB memory card, 8-megapixel Large/SuperFine quality, ISO 80, flash off and all other settings at the factory defaults. Times may vary depending on camera settings, lighting conditions, media, etc.”.
