 Outdoor pics always overexposured September 19, 2008
8 out of 14 found this review helpful
I had a Canon camera before and was very satisfied with it. It was old and I decided to buy a new one. I decided for this model after some research. I took into consideration its new processor (DIGIC III) because it is a compact camera and most of time I use the auto configuration.
BUT for my surprise almost all (about 90% I'd say) of the pics I take outdoors get over exposured. I have missed hundreds of good shots because of this problem. If I was supposed to manually adjust all the parameters, I'd go for a professional camera.
I am completely unsatisfied with it.
There are some "cool" features like the face detection and bla bla bla, but the important part (I mean, to take good pics), this camera is not able to.
After this experience, I won't go for Canon any more.

Camera seemed nice enough, but I was looking for something significantly smaller. I only turned it on once, but I noticed a significant delay between shots when using the flash. Not a great feature when you are trying to take pictures of kids. I returned it for the Canon SD1100is, which I love.
 easy to use digital camera June 5, 2008

Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
We got this camera because our A620 failed to work right before my daughter's 5th Birthday. I opted for another Canon because we really liked the ease of use and quality of pictures from the A620. We'd used that camera almost daily with 5 y/o and 2.5y/o kids.
THe A590IS works OK. The pictures are adequate, but seem to be less defined than the A620. My only other real complaint is the recharge time from picture to picture. THe A620 is faster (maybe two extra batteries helps?). The decrease in battery use (two from four) makes the A590IS lighter, but also 'feels cheaper'. We ae overall satisfied, but we went ahead and got the A620 fixed since we really like it's design and functionality.

I purchased this camera after doing quite a bit of research. I really wanted something that would allow me to learn a bit and do more then just point and shoot. well, I'm learning alot and having a great time with it! Have taken some absolutely awesome shots! Caught a bumbly bee in flight! I'm sure there are some features that will never be used, but look forward to trying out some others. Was warned about the AA battery annoyance, but purchased the rechargeable batteries and pack so have been just switching them. Also purchased a card reader ($9.00) which saves your batteries from downloading. Am very glad that i decided against the other Canon model that did not have a viewfinder, even though that one seemed like it would also be an awesome choice. this camera comes with a computer disc that has great options for organizing and editing your photos. Overall, I am thrilled with this camera and think it was well worth the price.
Fabulous! Just what I wanted July 27, 2008

Just a short note to let you know that I had some reservations about this item because of the claims of short battery life. I looked at a lot of other cameras and was hoping for some great features without having to go to the fancy schmancy cameras. For the price, I think it's a great buy. It is easy to use, it has a lot of great features and you can use manual functions but I haven't needed to yet because of all of the options including "night scene", "kids and pets", "foliage" and so on. The camera came with two basic alkaline batteries and I've literally taken a couple hundred pictures and they're still working. I don't use the flash very often, so this may contribute to the longer battery life, but I generally use rechargeable Ni-MH batteries, so I'm not too worried about the future battery life once these freebies wear out.
