Works as expected

Strengths: Auto-mode seems fine for most cases face-detection Good options for advanced photographers

Weakness: size - it's not one of those tiny digital-ELF's, but not huge either.

I'm not a heavy photographer, but I've messed around with a few of the options. Scene's seems to work well, and the auto-mode and face detection feature is pretty cool.

Another great entry level camera from Canon

Strengths: Large 2.5 LCD, image stabilization, high resolution, great image quality, auto focus, competitive pricing

Weakness: Largish form factor for a "compact" camera, only takes AA batteries

I got this camera for my mom for Mother's Day to replace he old Nikon and she loved it. I had decided to get this camera for her as it has image stabilization (a must for my mom who is notorious for blurry photos) and easy to replace AA batteries. She was very pleased with the large LCD size, the built in smart picture rotating feature and face auto focusing feature. I'd recommend this camera to...

Quality Camera A590 IS

Strengths: very easy to use, with easy to understand instructions

Weakness: Haven't found any yet

This is a great camera. Easy to use and understand. I did not have to spend hours reading instructions before taking my first pictures. But it still has many features that I plan to learn to use in the future. It produces quality photos that were easy to download.

Canon a590 IS Digital Camera

Strengths: Compact, yet full featured. Has large LCD and also has viewfinder. Canon quality throughout.Uses AA batteries.

Weakness: Slow flash recycle.

I got this camera for my daughter to replace her older Canon. I recently bought a Canon a720is and was very impressed with the ease of use, image quality and full features. The a590 is is basically the same camera with 4x zoom at a much better price. The image stabilization is amazing. Flash is powerful, but long to recycle after full discharge. Overall another great Canon camera

Strengths: Easy to use, so many features

Weakness: haven't found one yet

I love this camera. I brought it on a fishing trip and took some amazing pictures and with it. Having the stabilizer was great due to we were on a boat. Unbelievably not one blurred picture. There are so many features I can't list them all. I received it for Mothers Day, one of best gift ever. I just purchased one for my daughter for her 24th birthday.

Good quality camera

Strengths: features,cost, ease of use

Weakness: battery/memory card door

My old digital camera was getting worn and wasn't working that great. I finally decided on the Canon camera which was a new model.I am pleased with it so far. It is instinctive and very easy to use.The pictures come out clear and crisp and look great.There is an image stabilization feature which results in much fewer blurry pictures.The batteries even seem to last longer in this camera compared...

canon digital point shoot camera A590

Strengths: canon branding quality, general features, IS feature, 8 megapixel resolution, zoom

Weakness: body/plastic construction, lcd screen exposed to scratching

I have been using an A series A85 for some time and love it. I bought this for my brother to replace an older A series as well and used it for a while before handing it over (wanted to keep it actually). Great camera. Most of us will never use the features this consumer grade camera has. However, I take comfort knowing they are there if I need them. This unit takes 2 aa batteries so generally you...

Great camera

Strengths: easy to use - my ten year old figured it out right away great pictures

Weakness: supplied battery did not even last the first day

This is one fine camera for the price. My ten year old has used it to take people pictures and to shoot short videos. The down load to PC was extremely fast and the software was easy to navigate.

very good camera

Strengths: image stablizer feature, nice color

Weakness: the plastic outside feels a little bit fragile.

For everyone who wants to buy a camera, IS feature is a must. I use this camera to take photos for my baby. After loading the photos to my laptop, I love this camera immediatelly. The photos are so beautiful and clear though my baby moved a lot when I took them. The only weakness is the plastic outside is too light. So it seems a little bit fragile.

Canon PowerShot A590 IS

THE GOOD: Great picture quality; fast shutter speed; broad manual feature set. THE BAD: Chunky appearance; slow shot-to-shot time with the onboard flash enabled. THE BOTTOM LINE: The Canon PowerShot A590 ISs manual exposure controls and surprisingly sharp pictures make it a great choice for almost anyone looking for a sub-$200 shooter.

Canon PowerShot A590 IS Review

There are good digital cameras and cheap digital cameras - the trick is getting both in the same package. The Canon PowerShot A590 IS is one digital camera that delivers a lot of capability and good photos at a low price. We also like the fact that Canon A590IS is well-suited to both novices and advanced users. Total beginners can put it in "Easy" mode and snap away, but a full range of features...

Available for around $150 / £120, is the 8 megapixel Canon...

DCRP Review: Canon PowerShot A590 IS

If you're looking for a budget camera that takes great pictures, and has all the features you could possibly desire (without too many gimmicks), then the Canon PowerShot A590 IS is absolutely worth a look. The only people that I'd caution are those who take a lot of movies or long exposures -- you might want to find a camera with a 30 fps frame rate and better low light noise performance...
