Canon PowerShot A580 prices and specs
The PowerShot A580 was produced on Jan 24, 2008. For now the cheapest price for the camera is 149.99
The PowerShot A580 is a point and shoot camera. Its main advantage is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Canon PowerShot A580 is equipped with various automatic modes but you won't capture photographs of the same great quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The device can shoot photos at 8 megapixels max resolution. But for better image quality the more important thing is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the model will shoot photos with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it is more portable. But if you want to take photos of the best quality pay attention to Leica SL (Typ 601).
The Canon PowerShot A580 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which will be enough for shooting action photos of a very good quality. The device can even shoot videos but the max resolution is not very high - 640 x 480.
The lens is built into the device and you won't be able to change it. The lens has 4x optical zoom.
