The camera proves to be a significant downgrade over the autofocus model in the W810, not just the software but also the pictures themselves. Thw W580 scores a 20/50 on the vision test, which is slightly below average for a 2 Megapixel model. Outdoors the camera takes clear pictures with good color balance, although shadows are very dark and often become black blobs. Indoors pictures have a green cast if taken in good light, and a yellow or orange cast if taken in low light. The W580 does not have a flash, but is does have a night mode which does a pretty good job of taking pictures of light objects (faces, flyers, etc) in low light.

 

There are two video modes. Both record a 3GP movie at 176 x 144 but the high quality mode will let you record a clip until the memory is full. The videos are not smooth, they look like stop motion clips instead of full motion video. Colors and light balance is about the same as still pictures.
