PowerShot A580 is a standard model within the PowerShot series, known for the ease of use offered by its camera. This model inherits from their predecessors a 4x optical zoom lens, which won high praise from users, and comes equipped with a high-resolution 8.0-megapixel CCD sensor. The newly added “Easy” mode of the A580 automatically determines optimal settings based on shooting conditions so that even beginners can take impressive shots with ease. With their comfortable, easy-to-hold grip and Curvature Design form, the models convey a look and feel of stability.
