Summary: Solid, compact, feature-rich camera at a great price!
Comment: The A590IS is the 8-MP sibling of the 7-Megapixel 570IS. I've played with both, and at an almost equal price, the 590 is the way to go.

- "Automatic" mode makes it easy as pie for point-and-shoot. Photo novices will find the Automatic -- and above that, Easy -- modes a welcome way to "just take the picture already!". The auto-focus, facial recognition, and adjustment features all respond quickly at half-depress... lining up a great shot is simple and quick.
- "Manual" mode gives you reign over everything about the photo, from the white balance, to the aperture, flash output, and even the part of the screen it uses to calculate gamma compensation. When you've got time to make the picture turn out just right, this little camera won't disappoint.
- The lens isn't half bad either, giving you focus-adjustment down to 2 inches from the end of the lens, and incremental up to 10 feet.

As with most new Digital Cameras, the viewfinder has been long-since replaced by the back LCD, which provides a helpful and adjustable HUD. The color spectral graphs are especially nice to have on-hand if you're worried about balancing multiple shots against each other.

The only cons are inherent in the design: the viewfinder and flash are almost useless when the camera is fitted with an optional lens hood / adapter. The buttons and dial adjustments are also small, so it pays to familiarize yourself with the user interface.

All in all, a fantastic camera for the price. Image stabilization, a 4x zoom, optional attachments, and a trim pricetag make this a great deal for anyone looking to upgrade to a non-SLR picture snapper.

Summary: Excellent Camera
Comment: Purchased this to replace another Canon Powershot which was stolen. We've been very impressed with this camera. Excellent images, good stability control, plenty of detail allowing for cropping of pictures for scrapbooking. Highly recommend this camera!

Summary: Canon PowerShot: A Great Choice
Comment: When I first received the Canon PowerShot A590IS for my birthday, I knew I would never receive a gift as nice as this one again. The camera has lots of cool features, including 16x digital zoom and up to a ten-second delay picture. One of my favorite modes is the movie mode. Unlike my previous camera, it has a built-in microphone for movies that will go as long as you want them to.

The only thing I think you should be careful of is the batteries. My father and I realized that regular AA batteries wouldn't last very long. You have to use long lasting, good batteries and I'm always sure to bring extra batteries on a trip.

Want to put the camera into movie mode but don't want to use up the batteries? Press display a few times and the screen will turn black, a handy feature that doesn't drain the batteries.

Overall, the camera is a great choice for future photographers who can't afford a big expensive professional camera. 5 stars!

Summary: Great camera
Comment: I really like the way the screen orients to the direction you took the shot. This camera is easy to use and takes beautiful pictures. It's amazing how much cameras have improved and prices have fallen. Hurrah for the march of technology. Now everyone can take nice snapshots of friends, family and vacations.

Summary: GREAT CAMERA / GREAT VALUE
Comment: For the money I don't believe this camera can be beat. I could not be more satisfied with this camera. I have already taken about three hundred pictures just learning and playing with all the features. The picture quality is great. The photos I've taken look professional and this is quite an accomplishment since I have NEVER taken any good shots in my life. Easy mode produces great shots. Auto produces great shots. Now I'm exploring manual settings which I never thought I could do and am getting great shots.

If you want a GREAT CAMERA for VERY LITTLE MONEY, then look no farther because this is that camera! So you don't throw money away I would recommend re-chargeable batteries and a battery charger. Also spend a little time in the instruction manual if you are completely ignorant like I am about cameras, it will be time well spent and make your purchase more pleasurable.
