Summary: Good value - versatile
Comment: Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Price right for a compact, but not tiny, digital camera. Standard with excellent documentation & fair software. Good cable & small CD mem card, but $10 card from Amazon was 4GB & works flawlessly. Hard to find the optical finder on a a non-SLR camera. Also has many manual modes, not often found on compact, entry-level digital ccameras.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Simple and Easy
Comment: I usually have a difficult time with cameras, but this camera was very easy to use and the pictures are excellent. I was told about this camera by a friend who also has had excellent results. It only takes a few minutes to get it up and running and the sofware for your computer is easy to use.

Summary: Amazing bargain. OK performer.
Comment: The A590IS is probably the best camera bargain out there now. It's amazing how much camera you can get for the money nowadays, compared to just a few years ago. The A590IS is a decent performer. It's performs much better in good lighting conditions, than low light. Pictures are quite noisy, but usable at ISO higher than 200. The flash is weak, but OK for most situations. Recycle time is also slow. The camera has a view finder, but it's pretty much useless since it's tiny and very inaccurate. The 2.5" 115k low resolution LCD screen is where you can tell this is a budget camera. It does its job, but is fair at best. The video mode is limited. You can't zoom during recording, and fps has been limited to 20fps. On the positive side, battery life seems improved over previous "A" models. There are some manual modes. This is very uncommon on inexpensive cameras. The camera is fairly small, stylish, and generally takes very good pictures. All in all, it would be tough to find a better camera in this price range.

Summary: A590IS is good for the price
Comment: Pricing on this camera is all over the board. At $105-$110 including shipping it is a great bargain. Some pictures come out great. Sometimes the camera fails to focus properly resulting in blurry pictures. I have not figured this one out yet. I take as many shots of a scene as I can and hope there is a good one in the bunch. There is also significant barrel distortion at the wide end of focus. Battery life has been good on mine using Energizer 2500mAh NMH batteries. I like the lighter weight of two batteries instead of four like my A85 uses. I have to crank up the custom color settings to avoid washed out colors. Noise has not been a problem for me so far. Do all cameras in this price range produce pictures which require touching up? This is good and bad news. Pictures usually require a little sharpening and some contrast adjustment and these pictures respond well to the adjustments. However, 90% of the pictures require this fiddling. IS is a marvel compared with the A85. Good camera for casual use, or one step above with experimentation. I am still learning.
