The Imaging Resource has a nice review of the new 8Mp Canon PowerShot A580. Using the new DIGIC III procesor allows for some nice features on a lower priced, entry level compact, including face detection and motion detection. Although the image quality could use some improvement, its not that bad.

The Canon A580 doesn’t play the megapixel game, offering instead a solid eight megapixels of resolution rather than dabble in double digit sensors. But that brings some good news about noise….

The Canon A580 is well suited to everyone from children to grandparents, but that doesn’t mean it has no frills or firepower….

Thanks to its DIGIC III processor, its performance was nothing to sneeze at. And the same imaging engine gave it some very helpful tools like motion detection and face detection that Canon has harnessed in unique and interesting ways.
