4 out of 5 stars Enjoying Product   August 20, 2008
I looked at many Cameras before I purchased this camera. It is all very confusing. I am satisfied with my purchase. The price was good . I like the size also. The only 2 downfalls i have found is it is slow to focus before you take a picture and sometimes I have trouble hitting a button on the back of my camera unintentionally. I would reccomend this camera.


5 out of 5 stars Great camera   August 18, 2008
I really like the way the screen orients to the direction you took the shot. This camera is easy to use and takes beautiful pictures. It's amazing how much cameras have improved and prices have fallen. Hurrah for the march of technology. Now everyone can take nice snapshots of friends, family and vacations.

Great Camera! I'm very pleased with pictures, both still and mini-movies. Price was very right.


5 out of 5 stars Canon PowerShot A590IS   August 17, 2008
I recently purchased this camera for my personal use for such activities as parties, friends and random pictures. Up to this day it has still impressed me and i would recommend it to anyone. Its use requires little knowledge of technology I mean practically anyone can use it. It has a great zoom and also its build in speaker is not surround sound quality but at least it has one and you can hear practically anything.


5 out of 5 stars Great camera if a balance of quality, features and budget is needed   August 17, 2008
With a limited budget, my objective in upgrading from an aged digital camera was to buy something with high picture quality for personal use, proven reliablility, simple to use, and with all standard features. A friend recommended the Canon PowerShot and after researching models and reviews, the A590IS was the right mix of price, features and quality. In practice, it has lived up to my expectations: very easy to start using, quality pictures, and I have found the user manual clear as I've explored the camera's multiple features and options.

My only note for future buyers is to factor into your budget the cost of adding a memory card. The 32 meg card that came with the package was OK to learn with, but not sufficient for use; I added a 16 gig memory which cost around $50.
