Cgarrard from Alphamountworld published the second part of the Sony A580 review: “Sony’s A580 is the most fun to use DSLR that Sony has produced to date. I’ve used every Sony DSLR they have manufactured, owned most of them, but this one has yet to leave my side.” And how does the A580 compare with the Translucent A55? “In comparison to the SLT series I believe that less video and a couple other mentionables, the A580 is a superior value to an Alpha photographer.”
As you know Cgarrard lately critized Sony products strategy. So the fact he likes the A580 a lot is good news for us and for Sony 😉
And the good news is that unlike the A55 the A580 is in Stock almost everywhere:
Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon DE, Amazon FR, Pixmania DE, Pixmania BE, Pixmania AT, Pixmania UK, Pixmania NL, Pixmania PL, Pixmania IT.

I do agree. Even just looking at the specs, from my perspective, the A580 was a much more attractive choice for me as a still shooter than the SLTs. The only reason I didn’t get it was because it was too close to the A550. To me, the big features are the implementation of the NEX line of enhancements like image stacking NR, auto pano stitching, MLU, and a biggie for me, the ability within focus check live view to also auto-focus. I have always loved the Alphas for the features which make shooting really flexible and the A580 is an indicator of what’s to come. If the trend keeps up, the A7xx evolution is going to be real tempting to me.
Looks like he wants to come back and impress Sony reps. 😉 Now that FF firmware upgrades are out and rumours about next FF is solidifying, and the possibility that A7xx will be a killer cam, its better to get back to Sony Camp. isnt it?

Chuckle. Or maybe he just liked the camera.
If you actually read the review he makes it clear why he likes this one vs. the camera it replaces.
Anyone here still gives a damn of what he says? I know I don’t.
Just a nerd who likes to write and talk about cameras.
