 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.
 A camera you won't regret August 17, 2008
Gives you high quality photos and at the same time at a fare price. Really good for entry-level people like me. I even posted some amateur photos for you to view. Just play around with the settings and you'll get good pics and you'll get better shots than me. The only thing that's not good is the battery life. I suggest you buy rechargeable batteries. Overall excellent camera for everyone!
Canon PowerShot: A Great Choice August 16, 2008

When I first received the Canon PowerShot A590IS for my birthday, I knew I would never receive a gift as nice as this one again. The camera has lots of cool features, including 16x digital zoom and up to a ten-second delay picture. One of my favorite modes is the movie mode. Unlike my previous camera, it has a built-in microphone for movies that will go as long as you want them to.
The only thing I think you should be careful of is the batteries. My father and I realized that regular AA batteries wouldn't last very long. You have to use long lasting, good batteries and I'm always sure to bring extra batteries on a trip.
Want to put the camera into movie mode but don't want to use up the batteries? Press display a few times and the screen will turn black, a handy feature that doesn't drain the batteries.
Overall, the camera is a great choice for future photographers who can't afford a big expensive professional camera. 5 stars!
Best camera for your money. August 13, 2008
This is by far the best camera for your money, when you are on vacation with the family carrying around a bunch of stuff you can just put this little baby in your pocket and you are ready to go.
Buy this want, you wont regret.

Once the directions are read and understood, which is the main ingredient, it takes great pictures with a minimum amount of hassle. The software makes downloading to a PC easy and quick. The battery life seem comparable to other cameras I've owned, the main factor, in battery life, is common sense with zooming and using the digital display.
