 Great Point and Shoot Camera May 11, 2008
So I was looking for something with slightly more features then a cheap point and shoot camera. I used to have an older Canon and thought I would give them a try again, and I have to say I am rather pleased with my purchase. The camera turns on and is ready to take picutres quickly. The Auto mode is great for most daylight or well lit settings. The 'Night-Scene' Mode works great if you are taking picutres during the night or in a dim room. Colors are vibrant and crisp, and the image stabilization works rather well when using the zoom. I really like all the available customization options for Exposure and and White Balance, that helps if you know a bit about what you are doing and want to take some specialized shots, which is exactly what I was looking for.
I only have one thing that I don't like so far about the camera. I would have liked something more then just a 4x Optical Zoom. A 6x or 8x would have been a lot nicer, although you can purchase additional lenses for this, which is a great option. However, this seems to be more of an issue with all point and shoot type digital cameras, not something specific to this camera.
Overall a great value for what you get.
Great little camera! May 9, 2008
After considering the Olympus Stylus 830 and a Sony, I went with the Canon A590IS for two reasons: 1)it has a viewfinder and 2)it takes AA batteries. The viewfinder is particularly useful to me as I bought the camera specifically to take photos of cactus blossoms in full sun. I am still new to this camera but without having studied too much, I've gotten some excellent photos. This 8 MP camera produces images comparable to my friend's 8 MP SLR, a much bulkier body. Even with four sets of extra batteries, the booklet and a charger, my camera bag is smaller and has some room to spare.

This is an excellent camera for the money! It is small enough to carry in a pocket but still large enough to feel good and have a viewfinder so that you can turn the viewing screen off to save the battery. We have taken several hundred photographs so far and are still on the first set of batteries. The photos are excellent quality and the camera is easy to use but sophisticated enough to allow a wide variety of individual priority's such as aperture or timing. It also has the image stabilizer so that unfamiliar people can take photos without blurring them. I would buy it again without hesitation.
Good for Me May 3, 2008
This is my first digital camera, and I am just learning how to use it. The controls are logical and not too tiny. It hooked up beautifully to my imac Leopard 10 so I didn't need to use the Canon software. Because of the Amazon reviews, I have not purchased a camera case yet; I want one with a neck strap.

I just wanted an easy to use point and shoot camera that didn't cost alot.
The A590 is the one. It takes great photos in auto mode, it uses AA type batteries and its not so small size and shape, make it easy to hold steady. I would recommend this product to anyone.
