Rating: - Amazing bargain. OK performer.
The A590IS is probably the best camera bargain out there now. It's amazing how much camera you can get for the money nowadays, compared to just a few years ago. The A590IS is a decent performer. It's performs much better in good lighting conditions, than low light. Pictures are quite noisy, but usable at ISO higher than 200. The flash is weak, but OK for most situations. Recycle time is also slow. The camera has a view finder, but it's pretty much useless since it's tiny and very inaccurate. The ... Read More
Rating: - A590IS is good for the price
Pricing on this camera is all over the board. At $105-$110 including shipping it is a great bargain. Some pictures come out great.

Rating: - Awsome Camara!
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!
Rating: - Great camera and great price
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 ... Read More
