 Love it! Easy to use. December 3, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is my first digital camera and I was concerned that it would take forever to figure out all the special features. The user guide is 207 pages! I ended up just reading the first few pages so that I could get started using the camera right away. I then discovered that many of the features are self-explanatory. Anyway, I have yet to read the guide or watch the video but have been using the camera almost daily for 2 months.
I love the quality of the pictures and unlike a 35mm, good light is not that important. I take a lot of pictures inside with pretty lousy light. The memory card that comes with the camera will let you take about 12 pictures but it only takes a minute to download the pictures onto your computer and clear the card. I am going to get the 1 GB memory card and camera case that Amazon offers, they are only $15.95. I have noticed that this camera burns through double A batteries pretty quick but it only takes two double A's. I ignore the low battery warning and keep going until the batteries are completely used up, this lets me get another couple days of use. Anyway, I love this camera! If you need a good camera for your Ebay pictures, this one is great!

I searched and searched read review after review and finally and ended up with the Canon A590IS. I have only had the camera a short period and am absolutely overjoyed with my choice. Picture quality is excellent. Full control of the camera, anywhere from automatic or easy mode for my wife, or for my pleasure, lots of presets and actual manual mode and lets not forget the image stabiliztion. When you run out of things to play with there are extra lens available to give you a little more. My wife wanted a simple point and shoot, she just wants to take a picture by pressing a button. She loves it. I on the other hand, like to learn and enjoy the process of discovery. I love it. This camera will give way above average photos regardless if a begginer, seasoned photographer or anythng in between. Price is great delivery on time and in perfect condition. Too bad I can only give five stars. By all means buy it enjoy it and remember canons quality and excellent tech support

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.

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.
Amazing bargain. OK performer. December 2, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
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. The Panasonic Lumix LZ8 is probably its closest competition.
