Photo.net Reviews Canon Powershot A80
Photo.net have published their review of one of the more popular consumer digicams, the 4-megapixel Canon PowerShot A80, which sells for around $399.
“The dreaded “blue fringing”, which is seen on just about all cameras and is probably due to a combination of factors including sensor blooming, seems well controlled. Under adverse conditions (dark lines on a white, overexposed, background) you can see evidence of “blue fringing”, but it didn’t seem excessive. It’s frequently not noticeable in normal shots, but in “torture tests” it can be seen.
Though it’s not fair, here’s a comparison of a 4MP image from the A80 and a 6.3 MP image from the EOS 10D using a 28-135 IS lens. These are crops from 400% blowups from the center of each image so you can see the individual pixels. There is surprisingly little difference!”
