 So far, so good September 6, 2008

We got this camera just before the birth of our first baby. We've found the basic usage easy to understand and have captured tons of good pictures without needing to read the manual first. There's obviously a lot more you can do with this camera if you have time to figure it out, but I appreciate the simplicity of necessary functions and potential for more too. The resolution was high enough for me to put great professional-looking shots on my business web sight as well.
great little camera September 6, 2008

bought this as a second, smaller camera for my husband to drag along on his different outings and pix of his construction work. He is limited technically, so this is a great choice for him. It also has the macro for his close-ups, and a little zoom so he can compose better pix. I'm also promoting the new ENELOOP batteries for all things digital/battery powered. MAJOR difference in charge length.
 Canon goes cheap, in a bad way. September 6, 2008

Just a note to anyone consider the A590IS camera. I bought mine and tested for 3 hours. This is to replace my older 3.2 Megapixel Canon A510 (Which is not a perfect camera, but quite a good one!)
Short story: Stay away from the A590IS, it is not better than the 3 year old A510! Very disappointed at Canon for putting out this subpar product.
CONS:
-Pictures are soft, almost out of focus. Compared A/B with the 510 on same shots identical settings at 3 Megapixels. 510 wins hands down.
-Plastic case instead of metal. Cheap and light feel. If it falls, it is toast.
-Screen is larger, but also are the pixels. So, same resolution at a larger screen = very poor poor LCD image quality.
-Most of the advanced features, such as focus review etc, rely heavily on the LCD, which is of poor quality, so the new features are useless!
-Uninmpressed by the Image Stabilization feature. But maybe I was expecting miracles here.
-No Panorama mode. (510 had a stitch mode where you could panel Left to Right and overlap the pics). I used this a lot in the old camera.
-Batteries and SD card in same compartment. When I take the SD card out, the batteries tend to fall out. Its just a cumbersome process!
-The so called 8 megapixels in this CCD are a bit of a joke. There wasn't a huge difference between taking a 3 megapixel pic and stretching up in Photoshop, compared to the same pic at 8 Megapixel. Very soft!
 Good camera September 6, 2008

It's a point and shoot. As good or better than the competition. YOu're not going to do a National Geographic shoot with it but it's a handy little gadget to carry with.
Very good Camera September 4, 2008

This is a very good Camera and not very hard to use. It could have a neck or hand strap for safty. Over all I am very happy. Thanks to all.
