    Canon A590

    Pros: Size, Picture Quality, view finder

    Cons: Transfer program, Zoom location

    One of the reasons I choose this camers was that it had a viewfinder. When my older kodak died I wanted another one but none of the less expensive ones had a viewfinder :( I did buy a Kodakthat did not have a view finder but I was not as steady hold...ing the camera at arms length. With the view finder my shot are very steady:) Picture quality with this camera is great :) Even when I look at them on the computer screen or print them out on full sheet of paper. There are some times in the auto mode that it washes out some pcitures. I think thats when I have too much bright sky in the picture. As long as I am a bit more careful, it wont over adjust. This is great size too. A little smaller woudl have been nice but it easily fits in my purse or in a jacket pocket. Zoom works well but I wish it was on the back like my Kodak was. And the trasnfer program does automaticlaly delete the picture like the kodak program did:) And there are lots of feature - probably more than I will ever really use but will be fun to try! Overall a great camera though :) I would recomend it! Read more Less

    Pros: Lots of exposure modes, image stabliser, easy to use.

    Cons: Supplied 32MB SD memory way too small.

    I moved up to this model after using a Canon A470 camera. The A590 adds image stabiliser and more control over the exposure with settings for Program, Aperture or Shutter Speed priority. The image stabiliser works well at maximum zoom allowing steady... shot, also for macro closeups, for example when the wind is blowing a flower about.I bought a 4GB fast SD HC memory card for the camera as the supplied 32MB memory is way too small. Having a large memory allows me to store images at best resolution and superfine quality. Images can be resized and have the quality reduced for smaller files destined for web sites. The camera is easy to use, although the screen is difficult to view in sunlight, I suspect this would be the case for any camera screen. The viewfinder is handy at times particularly in bright sunlight when the screen is too hard to see, one reason for me upgrading to the camera was to get the viewfinder option. The software supplied with the camera is okay, but I prefer to use the free Irfanview windows program for image resizing and cropping. There's an option for stitching a series of shots together which works quite well. The camera image downloader software is good, creates dated folders on the fly for images.The prices on Australian websites varied widely, RRP is AU$169, I paid a little less than this for Internet mail order plus delivery, and about $25 for the 4GB memory card.I like it!

    The Canon PowerShot A590 IS's manual exposure controls and surprisingly sharp pictures make it a great choice for almost anyone looking for a sub-$200 shooter. Read more

    The camera's zoom range can be expanded even further with the use of any one of three optional converter lenses: a 1.75X tele-converter, a 0.7X wide converter and a 52mm close-up lens for frame-filling macro photography. The converter lenses attach over the camera's zoom lens by means of an optional conversion lens adapter. Read more
