 A590IS is good for the price December 2, 2008
Alex Weibel (Pittsburgh, PA)
Pricing on this camera is all over the board. At $105-$110 including shipping it is a great bargain. Some pictures come out great. Sometimes the camera fails to focus properly resulting in blurry pictures. I have not figured this one out yet. I take as many shots of a scene as I can and hope there is a good one in the bunch. There is also significant barrel distortion at the wide end of focus. Battery life has been good on mine using Energizer 2500mAh NMH batteries. I like the lighter weight of two batteries instead of four like my A85 uses. I have to crank up the custom color settings to avoid washed out colors. Noise has not been a problem for me so far. Do all cameras in this price range produce pictures which require touching up? This is good and bad news. Pictures usually require a little sharpening and some contrast adjustment and these pictures respond well to the adjustments. However, 90% of the pictures require this fiddling. IS is a marvel compared with the A85. Good camera for casual use, or one step above with experimentation. I am still learning.
 Great Camera! December 2, 2008

Awsome Camara! December 1, 2008
Curt M. Lazoff
I recieved this camara 3 days after I bought it so the shipper was very quick and on top of it. I am giving this camara as a present so I haven't had much time to play with it, but from what I have experenced its a really great camara. It dosen't take forever for the camara to take pics and has about every option on it as a professional one from what I can tell. The only con is that is a little more bulky then what I thought it would be, so dosen't fit in your pocket very well but still a great buy!
Great camera and great price December 1, 2008
Ronald D. Ecke (Erie,PA)
I was looking for a solid, dependable point & shoot upgrade from my previous 8 MP digital camera, which blurred my shots too often. I need a camera that is easy to use, and takes good photos suitable for printing, thus the 8 MP minimum requirement. The A590IS turned out to be my choice for several reasons. The Canon reputation, Price, and available add-ons. This camera is selling for $185.00 at our local WalMart in Erie, Pennsylvania. One thing to note is the two Opteka lens made for this model, and sold here at Amazon.con. One Telephoto, and the other a wide angle lens. So if I decide one day to become more involved with photography, I can make some very inexpensive upgrades to this camera. Did I mention this camera has an "EASY" setting ? Yes ! When I don't have the time to show friends or family, that wants to use it, the features of this camera, I just set it to "easy" and hand it to them. The anti shake, image stabilization works great too. There are so many features on this camera, I'm still amazed at the price, and it's been lowered even more since my purchase in October 08. It fits my hands nicely, as it's not too small, but much smaller than a digital SLR. I also bought the PSC-85 Deluxe Case and its perfect match for this model even though the case is not advertised to fit this model. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a great point & shoot, at a great price.
 Can't beat it for the price December 1, 2008

Very satisfied, has all the stuff I need at a price point I am happy with. I'm not a pro, so this camera is perfect for me. The videos are amazing and the pictures are pretty darn good. You can't go wrong with the 590IS; check out the reviews on the net, all are impressed.
