Works as expected

Strengths: Auto-mode seems fine for most cases face-detection Good options for advanced photographers

Weakness: size - it's not one of those tiny digital-ELF's, but not huge either.

I'm not a heavy photographer, but I've messed around with a few of the options. Scene's seems to work well, and the auto-mode and face detection feature is pretty cool.

Another great entry level camera from Canon

Strengths: Large 2.5 LCD, image stabilization, high resolution, great image quality, auto focus, competitive pricing

Weakness: Largish form factor for a "compact" camera, only takes AA batteries

I got this camera for my mom for Mother's Day to replace he old Nikon and she loved it. I had decided to get this camera for her as it has image stabilization (a must for my mom who is notorious for blurry photos) and easy to replace AA batteries.

Quality Camera A590 IS

Strengths: very easy to use, with easy to understand instructions

Weakness: Haven't found any yet

This is a great camera. Easy to use and understand. I did not have to spend hours reading instructions before taking my first pictures. But it still has many features that I plan to learn to use in the future. It produces quality photos that were easy to download.

Canon a590 IS Digital Camera

Strengths: Compact, yet full featured. Has large LCD and also has viewfinder. Canon quality throughout.Uses AA batteries.

Weakness: Slow flash recycle.

I got this camera for my daughter to replace her older Canon. I recently bought a Canon a720is and was very impressed with the ease of use, image quality and full features. The a590 is is basically the same camera with 4x zoom at a much better price. The image stabilization is amazing. Flash is powerful, but long to recycle after full discharge. Overall another great Canon camera
