Summary: A great value
Comment: I've owned at least 3 digital cameras of progressive MP technology over the years. I think this Canon Powershot is a great value for what you get, whether your a snap-shotter or a more advanced user of digital cameras. This camera has just enough features to make people like me dangerous, but not too many that you are overwhelmed. The modes/settings are easy to configure and with a little practice, you will be taking some great pictures.
A lot of people think that the greater the MP, the better the quality of the picture. This is not true. I was looking for a camera that I can take quality photos with and share them over the internet; I do not need a professional camera that will produce poster-sized shots. And for my purposes, this camera is perfect!

Summary: Great performance for a great price
Comment: I do documentation fieldwork, so I wanted an inexpensive backup camera in case of any problem with my Panasonic TZ5. I chose the Canon a590 because of the great reviews, and because I had been impressed by the performance of my parents' Canon a570.

I hate to say it, but I'm happier with the Canon a590 than with my Panasonic TZ5. I particularly like the manual controls on the Canon, and the possibility to set the flash strength. It looks like I'll use the Canon as my primary camera, and keep the Panasonic TZ5 as a backup in case I damage or lose the Canon.

I bought the Canon a590 for $119 on-line from Best Buy, and it included a 2 GB SD memory card. I bought Radio Shack's NiMH rechargable AA batteries, which are the best rechargable batteries I've ever used.

I highly recommend the Canon a590.

Summary: Just bought this great camera
Comment: I recently bought the Canon PowerShot A590IS from Amazon at a great price ($109). So far, I am really enjoying it--it's my first digital camera and it is simple to use. Here are a few details about the camera that I didn't know before I bought it.

Batteries: It does come with batteries. Two AA batteries were included, which only lasted two days (which I expected from regular batteries). I've since bought rechargeable batteries, based on other reviewers' advice.

Memory card: A memory card is included, but it only has enough room for about twenty pictures. Just enough to test the camera out and take a few practice photos of my office. Good thing I ordered another memory card along with the camera.

View finder: Not only does this camera have the standard digital camera "screen", it also has an old-fashioned (like from regular cameras) view finder. I like this because I can take a picture even if there is glare on the digital screen. Also I find it helpful to look through the small view finder when there is a lot of motion.

Easy shot: The "easy" mode is really truly easy, and it produces really good pictures.

Design: Aside from the price, I picked this camera after looking at it in a retail store because of the user friendly design. Unlike many other digital cameras, it is not a small thin square. It has a rounded side that makes it easy to grip and more substantial feeling. At the same time, it is very light and small and easy to carry in my purse or coat pocket.

Overall ease of use: I found the camera to be simple to use and all of the included instructions to be useful and easy to follow.

I really do love this camera so far and would highly recommend it.

Summary: best camera for the money
Comment: This camera takes beautiful, clear pictures. Beats my cybershot by a mile for clarity and details. Easily worth the twice the price paid. I have not had battery life problems, and AA's are always available everywhere. Shopped online and got a couple of 4 GB HD-SC cards, (for less than $20) They should be good for thousands of highest quality shots, or hours of video. Feels good in the hand, light weight, and has good placement of the control buttons. I made a fun picture using the included photo stitching software, by sitting in a chair and taking 12 shots around the room, then stitching them together. Pan the image while viewing, and it looks really cool! Highly recommended, even for non technical users, great pictures automatically in 'easy mode'. Plenty of manual settings to play with too. Best sub $200 camera on the market, I got it for $105 shipped. :o)

Summary: Great Camera!
Comment: This camera is a great one. It has a large screen that shows clear images. The shots I have taken have all been accurate and clear. There are many easy-to-use features on the camera including an easy mode that I like so much. The camera is a very good buy with its 8 megapixels, 4x zoom (very good zoom), Optical Image Stabilizer, and 2.5-inch LCD (also lightweight and looks sharp). I am really enjoying it.
