This camera is selling for $185.00 at our local WalMart in Erie, Pennsylvania. When I don't have the time to show friends or family, that wants to use it, the features of this camera, I just set it to "easy" and hand it to them. The Canon reputation, Price, and available add-ons. The A590IS turned out to be my choice for several reasons. I was looking for a solid, dependable point & shoot upgrade from my previous 8 MP digital camera, which blurred my shots too often. I also bought the PSC-85 Deluxe Case and its perfect match for this model even though the case is not advertised to fit this model. Yes. Did I mention this camera has an "EASY" setting.
There are so many features on this camera, I'm still amazed at the price, and it's been lowered even more since my purchase in October 08. One Telephoto, and the other a wide angle lens. I need a camera that is easy to use, and takes good photos suitable for printing, thus the 8 MP minimum requirement. The anti shake, image stabilization works great too. One thing to note is the two Opteka lens made for this model, and sold here at Amazon.con. So if I decide one day to become more involved with photography, I can make some very inexpensive upgrades to this camera. It fits my hands nicely, as it's not too small, but much smaller than a digital SLR. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a great point & shoot, at a great price.
Very satisfied, has all the stuff I need at a price point I am happy with. I'm not a pro, so this camera is perfect for me. The videos are amazing and the pictures are pretty darn good. You can't go wrong with the 590IS; check out the reviews on the net, all are impressed.
I bought two of these as gifts. That and a long standing good reputation of the Canon brand decided the purchase. One for a daughter and another for my son. This model of camera has received great acclaim from both magizine reviewers (PC World) and consumer buyers. As these are both Christmas gifts, the actual users of these cameras don't even have them out of the box yet. Based upon their actual use and experience of this camera later on, I'll add to or amend this review accordingly.
Recommonded by Consumer Report. Outstanding quality with amazing price form Amazon.com. Can't beat this deal for $115.
Another thing about this camera that I liked is the viewfinder which makes a nice transition for someone who is not used to digicams with lcd screens on the back. This A590IS was a birthday present for my elderly father and would be his first digital camera. I've been a fan of Canon cameras for years now.I've owned the A40, A60, SD630 and my current camera is the SD870IS and I have loved each and every one of them. The image stabilization (IS) is also worth it's weight in gold when you consider that older digital cameras had to be held absolutely still to get a good picture without blurring. I didn't want to spend too much or get a camera that was too tiny or packed with features he would never use. I knew that the shape of this camera (because of AA batteries) would be easier to hold than my tiny SD Eplh's (it is) yet still provide a more than adequate point and shoot when set to auto. My dad loves this camera.he has already stopped using the viewfinder (which is barely adequate imo)and bought rechargeable AA batteries and a nice case for it. This camera makes a perfect entry level digicam but is still packed with features when you feel comfotable trying them out.Pros:Small and light without being too tinyTakes very good pics even on autoPacked with featuresThe price is rightcons:viewfinder is too small and not accurateShape makes it not as "pocketable" as the SD series
