 Canon goes cheap, in a bad way. September 6, 2008
Just a note to anyone consider the A590IS camera. I bought mine and tested for 3 hours. This is to replace my older 3.2 Megapixel Canon A510 (Which is not a perfect camera, but quite a good one!)
Short story: Stay away from the A590IS, it is not better than the 3 year old A510! Very disappointed at Canon for putting out this subpar product.
CONS:
-Pictures are soft, almost out of focus. Compared A/B with the 510 on same shots identical settings at 3 Megapixels. 510 wins hands down.
-Plastic case instead of metal. Cheap and light feel. If it falls, it is toast.
-Screen is larger, but also are the pixels. So, same resolution at a larger screen = very poor poor LCD image quality.
-Most of the advanced features, such as focus review etc, rely heavily on the LCD, which is of poor quality, so the new features are useless!
-Uninmpressed by the Image Stabilization feature. But maybe I was expecting miracles here.
-No Panorama mode. (510 had a stitch mode where you could panel Left to Right and overlap the pics). I used this a lot in the old camera.
-Batteries and SD card in same compartment. When I take the SD card out, the batteries tend to fall out. Its just a cumbersome process!
-The so called 8 megapixels in this CCD are a bit of a joke. There wasn't a huge difference between taking a 3 megapixel pic and stretching up in Photoshop, compared to the same pic at 8 Megapixel. Very soft!
 Good camera September 6, 2008
It's a point and shoot. As good or better than the competition. YOu're not going to do a National Geographic shoot with it but it's a handy little gadget to carry with.
 Very good Camera September 4, 2008
This is a very good Camera and not very hard to use. It could have a neck or hand strap for safty. Over all I am very happy. Thanks to all.

Not my first Canon. Liked my last PowerShot. Needed to upgrade to more mp, etc. Just as easy to use as my last one, but better pics.

I was a little disappointed with the first one I received as I took it on vacation and noticed that there must have been internal defect that left a line on all of the photos with light blue and tan in the backgound ?! ... however, Amazon was great at exchanging it. I have nothing, but good things to say about the replacement. Overall, it's great value for the money and it takes much better photos than my old Fuji which is why I still give it a 4 of 5 despite my negative impressions of the first one.
