Summary: Value for money
Comment: This is a value for money product. I have used it extensively for a month or so. Amazing quality of pictures.
This is especially great cam for users who are starters with digicam. I am gonna gift this cam to my dad.

Summary: Nice camera, some slight issues
Comment: My son bought this camera for me this Christmas and I'm still learning how to use it, but I'll do some pros and cons here:
Pros: View finder, large LCD screen, great macro setting, nice size with hand grip.
Cons: Long delays between shots, grainy at long range, flash too bright, no neck strap.
I really like the feel of this camera, and I love the view finder, but overall it's a step down from my present camera. I have a Konica Minolta Dimage Z20, 5 megapixels and 8X optical. I love that camera but it's too bulky to take everywhere. It doesn't have the image stabilizer but it seems to take clearer pictures than the Canon does. However, the macro on the Canon is much better than the KM, and that's important to me.
I'm really concerned with the long delay between shots, and if anyone can tell me how to fix this, I would appreciate it. I'm not especially techno-savvy and that thick manual is pretty intimidating! (But at least it comes with a manual.)

Summary: Very nice macro capability
Comment: I am particularly interested in macros (close-ups), and wanted an easy, tote-along camera for hikes and other nature explorations. Couldn't be happier with the A590, and for the money, it can't be beat. See sample macro image of winterberries that I uploaded. Focuses down to 2".

Summary: This was my best Christmas purchase in years
Comment: The people who received this camera for Christmas loved it. It was, by far, the best present I have ever given.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I'll get the hang of it
Comment: I just got the camera, and right now I'm glad there are Easy and Auto modes. I'll be carrying my little manual with me for a while, but it seems really nice. I also will have to figure out the printer for it, that I've yet to unbox. I can already say that I'd buy it again.

The PowerShot A590 IS will astound you with its power-packed performance and impressive value. It's got 8.0-megapixels, a 4x optical zoom, an Optical Image Stabilizer and a large 2.5-inch LCD.
