4 out of 5 stars Canon A590IS   July 5, 2008

2-3 weeks after my purchase the CanonA590IS is being sold at local retailers for $20 dollars less than the "great deal" from Amazon...
caveat emptor-"let the buyer beware"...I will definitely expand my options for purchase when next considering Amazon as a source.
Camera fine...all items delivered promptly.

I love this camera! Bought it before going to Alaska and am SO impressed with the quality of the images it captures! It is, by far, the best camera for an average photographer as well as a handy one for the more advanced! Love it!

Fourth digital camera I've owned and one of the best. I'm not into a lot of gadgetry so I haven't used all the features but for a quick point and shoot it's a nice piece. Upgraded to 2GB SD memory card and that gives me plenty of space for over 500 photos even at the highest resolution.

It's not slim enough to fit in your back pocket, but it is extremely simple to use and runs on AA batteries. Good for traveling.


5 out of 5 stars Great little camera, get the aux flash unit.   July 1, 2008

Many reviews on the great aspects of the camera here, just one thing to add. The flash is OK for a point and shoot compact camera, but does take a few seconds to recharge between shots and uses batteries quickly. This is not unique to this camera and my guess is that it just takes power to make a good flash, no matter what camera you use. For those people that need better and faster flash performance, the add on flash unit is the trick. Save batteries and take better indoor flash pictures faster for around $90...
