Sony A580 reviewed: 16.2 megapixels of mid-range DSLR goodness

Like the Sony A560 DSLR but need a few million more pixels at your disposal? That’s basically what you get with the A580 , a successor to the A550 and doing basically everything the A560 does — but with a 16.2 megapixel sensor. So it sports 1080i recording, a 3-inch tilting LCD, and 7fps burst shooting, but can’t match the continuous autofocus of the funky A55 and its mystical, magical, translucent mirror and overheating sensor . Overall performance and image quality are said to be good, with minimal noise up to ISO 1600 and fancy modes like HDR built in. All yours for about $899.
