| | Tech Reviews |  | Canon PowerShot A590 IS Digital Camera Review DigitalCameraReview.com Published on: 2/19/2008 7:31 PM | | To sum the A590 up in a single sentence, as a basic, compact picture taking tool it simply doesn't get much more solid and consistent than this. While there may have been room for more updates (meaning, ultimately, that Canon may have to fight a little harder to keep strong competition at bay with what is largely last year's model), the PowerShot A590 IS remains a strong basic package that's definitely worth considering....read the full review |

4 of 5 Review Monday, June 02, 2008
A Customer from Chicago,Illinois
Overall It's a cool camera.For me the best feature is "Image Stabilization".This camera can be used by anyone regardless of the expertise of taking snaps and still very good result scan be obtained.It's handy,decent and light camera.
There is one loop hole.Normally Digital cameras have built in 32Mb memory but it doesn.t have.For this you have to insert an external memory card and this card will be waste once you will buy a big memory card. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Have a lot of batteries on hand... Saturday, May 24, 2008
Patty from Greenwood, IN
This camera is great. It takes great pictures and has a lot of settings that are easy for a beginner to use. My only complaint is that it eats batteries like candy. I bought several sets of rechargeable after I used a set of batteries each day for the first three days. I know I may have been using it more than usual by taking a lot of pics to get used to it, but even on the day when I took a "normal" amount of pictures, it ran through a fresh set of batteries.
I do love that it takes AA batteries though because if the batteries run out while I'm out somewhere I can buy a pack of AA anywhere.
The software that comes with the camera for transferring pictures to the PC is easy to use.
Overall, a great camera for the money and I am thrilled with my purchase. Was this review helpful?

4 of 5 Good Camera for the price Sunday, May 04, 2008
Me from Douglas, GA
For the price you can not do much better than this camera. I gave it a 4 on performance and overall satisfaction because the picture to picture time frame with flash on is about 8 to 10 seconds and if you do not use the flash you pictures can be a tad out of focus if you move during the shot. But you can't be too critical for a camera at this pricepoint. To better these two things you'll end up spending over $200 and probably more on a higher end camera. Otherwise, no other complaints and good deal overall. Was this review helpful?
