 Fabulous Canon! November 23, 2008
I have had this camera for a month and it works great. After reading the review I was some what nervous because of the negatives but I so far do not see any. The picture quality is great and I hear no noises?! I highly recommed this product. Fabulous Price!!!
 Great camera! November 22, 2008
Picture quality is awesome, and the image stabilization is better than my last Canon. I just wish the reaction time between pushing the button and capturing the image was a little faster. But I guess that's why people buy SLR's. :)
Outstanding November 22, 2008
This is my third Canon Power Shot and for a point and shot camera it is the best. The picture quailty is very good and they seem to be problem free.
Nice addition to an older Powershot November 21, 2008
This camera caught my eye as a great replacement for my aging Canon PS A80.
My main concerns were battery life and durability. The A80 uses four AA's and good battery life and has stood the test of time. The A590IS uses only two AA's which makes it a little bit smaller, which makes it more pocketable, and with the newer battery technologies is very acceptable as far as battery life.
The A80 takes great pictures with a mere 4meg pix so the upgrade to 8 was not a selling point. The 590 does have a little bit better video capability which was a selling point.....and the recent low price definately sealed the deal.
At any rate this is a great little camera and should please most newbies and the majority of older Canon PowerShot owners.
Great camera November 21, 2008
I first purchased a blue Kodak EasyShare M863 8.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Red) and hated it. The pics taken outside were horrible. I returned it and bought this. It takes nice pics, both inside and out. Easy to use. Battery life has been fine as well.
The only problem I found so far has been that the automatic setting does not take decent pics of children who are active. So, I have to put it on the children setting. Which is not a big deal to me. If you are looking to keep it on one setting all the time and not worry about it, then I suggest looking for another make/model.
