Summary: easy to use and great quality pics for the price
Comment: definitely not as sleek and sexy as some of the more expensive canon cameras, but I suspect the quality of the images is exactly the same and it's very easy to use but still has a lot of great manual controls. The manual focus isn't that refined but it's nice that at least it's an option. Low light and long exposure images are pretty noisy, but that's to be expected.

Summary: Great Digital Camera
Comment: I am not a guy who knows all the mumbo jumbo stuff about cameras. What I do know is value and quality and this camera has both. It is light weight and can easly fit in your breast shirt pocket. It only takes 2 AA bateries to operate and is really easy to use. When I take a picture I use the automatic mode (I'm to busy taking pictures to worry about all the different kinds of modes and stuff), just point and click, real easy. The pictures come out great and even though you my be moving a little there is no blur. The video aspect is great also, the only limit is the ammount of memory you have in the camera. They say this is an entry level camera, but I disagree. It for sure is a mid level entry digital camera. Maybe one day I'll learn what all this camera can do and really be astonished. All in all a great buy.

Summary: Best for the Price
Comment: This is by far the best camera that I have ever owned. As someone who mostly takes pictures of dogs and other things of the sort it is perfect for me. It is easy to use and the quality is great. I love this camera and would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Great Point and Shoot Camera
Comment: So I was looking for something with slightly more features then a cheap point and shoot camera. I used to have an older Canon and thought I would give them a try again, and I have to say I am rather pleased with my purchase. The camera turns on and is ready to take picutres quickly. The Auto mode is great for most daylight or well lit settings. The 'Night-Scene' Mode works great if you are taking picutres during the night or in a dim room. Colors are vibrant and crisp, and the image stabilization works rather well when using the zoom. I really like all the available customization options for Exposure and and White Balance, that helps if you know a bit about what you are doing and want to take some specialized shots, which is exactly what I was looking for.
I only have one thing that I don't like so far about the camera. I would have liked something more then just a 4x Optical Zoom. A 6x or 8x would have been a lot nicer, although you can purchase additional lenses for this, which is a great option. However, this seems to be more of an issue with all point and shoot type digital cameras, not something specific to this camera.
Overall a great value for what you get.

Summary: Great little camera!
Comment: After considering the Olympus Stylus 830 and a Sony, I went with the Canon A590IS for two reasons: 1)it has a viewfinder and 2)it takes AA batteries. The viewfinder is particularly useful to me as I bought the camera specifically to take photos of cactus blossoms in full sun. I am still new to this camera but without having studied too much, I've gotten some excellent photos. This 8 MP camera produces images comparable to my friend's 8 MP SLR, a much bulkier body. Even with four sets of extra batteries, the booklet and a charger, my camera bag is smaller and has some room to spare.
