Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

Received the camera right away. Will deal with this merchant again. I am no photography expert, although, if I were, this camera gives me the option of manual settings. However, it also has an automatic setting that gave me FABULOUS photos. Just got back from vacation and reviewed the photos today. I can't believe that I took them, they look too good!!
I would recommend this camera to anybody and everybody.

Thanx-

My wife and I like this camera so much we now have two of them.
I bought this camera for my wife because it has an "easy" setting. The easy setting is the ideal point and shoot that eliminates the need to set any options and is therefore well suited to anyone who just wants to take pictures. I also bought a 4G SDHC card which allows almost 2K pictures at the highest resolution. My wife is delighted with the camera and has shot a couple of hundred pictures, all on the easy setting (the one with the little red heart). Because of the 8mp resolution I am able to edit and crop the pictures without losing detail. I have played with the camera just enough to learn that the advanced features are very comparable to some of my larger and much more expensives cameras. It won't replace a SLR but it has become our main travel camera because of its small size, it is simple enough to keep my wife happy and complex enough to keep me happy. We have owned these cameras for several months, taken over 1,000 pictures and they have held up very well.
At the current selling price of these cameras they are a great bargain.
P.S. I did have a minor problem with one of the cameras that required a return to the Canon service center. I realize that stuff happens and I wasn't thrilled about having to mail the camera to Canon but their customer service person couldn't have been nicer or more helpful and I had my camera back in a just a few days. All in all not a bad experience.

My display unit on my previous camera developed a crack and I needed a quick, inexpensive replacement. I am very pleased with the A590IS. More MP than I had before plus it has a nicer feel than the compact, square digital cameras.

I purchased this to replace my 4 year old Kodak Easy Share. My favorite parts about this camera include the Kids and Pets setting, the ability to look through a viewfinder like a film camera, and the excellent battery life. I've been using the same batteries for over two months despite almost daily use of the camera. Some of the menu settings are a little complicated but most of it is fairly intuitive.

Canon has a product here that serves me well, compact, easy to use
a real winner all the way!
