People have said the following good things from various internet websites and vendors about this particular Canon Powershot A590is 8mp digital camera: "Compact and looks in style/good. Smaller than older powershots and the dark grey looks more professional/serious over hte usual silver color. Good image quality with adjustable (big plus) contrast, saturation, sharpness settings, and jpeg/resolution settings. Fast and responsive on the response/refresh time. Refresh timer even faster if on manual focus pre-focused. Aperture priority and smart thinking camera that readjusts light based on what it is about to shoot or take a picture of at the time of snapshot. Has adjustable flash modes for manual control. Optical Viewfinder. Battery performance greatly enhanced in this model. Cheap price (really cheap considering how great this camera is!)."

People have said the following bad things from various internet websites and vendors about this particular Canon a590is powershot 8.0mp digital camera: "Slow flash recycle times. LCD display resolution a bit small. Live histogram while shooting or taking pictures only works on checking over already taken pictures. Could boast a better aperture size. Wider wideangle view would be appreciated. Video feature not the best. Optical zoom not available while shooting a movie. Noise at higher ISO's could be lower. No indicator of what best zoom is for situation."

Overall rating: 9.9 out of 10 - near perfect

Personal Canon powershot a590is 8mp digital camera product reviews: This camera expunges and expounds on most all previous models of Canon powershot cameras and brings together everything everyone wanted in their digital cameras. From iso's to easier menu navigation to optical viewfinder (a big missing feature from many other models), this camera was and still is, a huge hit amongst photographers and regular consumers alike. The price is ridiculously cheap on this camera, you'd think they were taking a loss making these, but I guess they aren't.
