Customer Review: I PURCHASED IT AT THE INTRODUCTORY PRICE!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this camera in Dec. 2008 as a present for myself. At that time I paid $109.00 for it....I at that time had no idea it had just came out. BRAND NEW in the box. I loved the camera! Picture quality: excellent! I only have one complaint....At my son's graduation someone bumped into me and knocked the camera out of my hand onto the concrete....it was completeley destroyed...in pieces. I was heartbroken...so i decided to purchase another one...to my surprise the price had TRIPLED! It now runs in excess of $300.00. Well because I could not replace it at the original price I paid for it.....I don't have a camera. But it is worth the price! If you can afford it...buy it! you won't be disappointed. The video quality was amazing! I had a 4gb memory card and I could video up to 40mins. It was amazing! Canon outdid themselves on this one! I'll have to do some great negotiating to talk my husband into letting me purchase another one at this price! Enjoy!Customer Review: Great Camera, Great Value, Great Hacking Project
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased my A590IS because of price and ease of hacking. Within minutes of receiving my camera I had installed CHDK on it and I had a camera with features of cameras costing much more. Now I can take awesome shots of lightning, save pictures in the RAW format, and take bracketed photos with ease. The quality of the camera is excellent and the Canon menus are easy to navigate and very intuitive. There are plenty of features for the experienced photographer and an Automatic mode that takes very nice pictures without any thought of ISO speed or any other variable. Battery life on the camera is reasonable, but I always keep a couple of extra batteries charged and ready to go. The body of this camera allows the use of accessory lenses. I purchased several of these lenses, along with the Canon adapter, and expanded the cameras capabilities even more. I like this camera so much that I am considering buying a second one so I can shoot stereoscopic images!Customer Review: Canon Power Shot A590IS, great camera

I researched quite a few cameras before purchasing this one through Amazon. It takes great pictures, navigation and understanding the camera is a breeze, i particularly like the view playback feature, allowing you to view pictures without opening the lens. It's super easy to zoom in on faces and items of interest, check for closed eyes,etc. Just quickly erase and snap again! I think for the money I made a good decision with this camera. Even during the competitive holiday season and price wars, the price I paid for the camera was well below everyone's price. It was shipped securely and arrived very timely. I wanted something with a little "bulk" in my hand, i have had a couple small point and shoot cameras and their size lends to putting in your pocket or sliding in the purse. With this camera I want and have to use a camera bag to keep it safe. I highly recommend this camera to anyone who wants to take quality photos with no hassle.Customer Review: I love this camera!

I purchased this camera after doing quite a bit of research. I really wanted something that would allow me to learn a bit and do more then just point and shoot. well, I'm learning alot and having a great time with it! Have taken some absolutely awesome shots! Caught a bumbly bee in flight! I'm sure there are some features that will never be used, but look forward to trying out some others. Was warned about the AA battery annoyance, but purchased the rechargeable batteries and pack so have been just switching them. Also purchased a card reader ($9.00) which saves your batteries from downloading. Am very glad that i decided against the other Canon model that did not have a viewfinder, even though that one seemed like it would also be an awesome choice. this camera comes with a computer disc that has great options for organizing and editing your photos. Overall, I am thrilled with this camera and think it was well worth the price.Customer Review: Great camera, price and has a viewfinder

I purchased this camera about a week ago from Amazon to take the place of the Fuji Z20fd which only had an LCD screen on it and would black out in the sun. I have been taking pictures with the Canon, then taking the same picture with the Fuji. Canon wins hands down. All the important controls are situated on the back of the camera which you can use without looking at them. To save battery power you can turn off the LCD screen. Mostly I shoot in auto mode but have been playing with it in the AE exposure mode which gives me more menu options and color effects. It also has optical image stabilization but doesn't deter from giving an excellent picture. Colors are true, shadows are grey as they appear in life, not brown which is how the Fuji captured them. Of course I'm more familiar with the Canon since I had a 6 mp one and loved it. It stays in my purse so I'm ready for any shot that comes along. Thanks to Amazon.
