Canon PowerShot A590 IS

Opinion: [I am newcomer & this is my first review!!]
Canon Power Shot A590 IS,it's my first digital camera which I have used about 3 years.
I like it very much.It's very nice entry level compact camera. It's good for those whose are only taken photo for hobby. It's 8 mega-pixels and lens 5.8-23.2mm of mine. It's great for visit any place easily with this camera.It's IS is better.So, I love it.That's all.

Opinion: This camera does provide a handsome manual controls over all features of the camera. Even micro-level zoom can be handled manually. Great to have this one. This really improved my photography quality.

Opinion: f:2.6 aperture,view finder,2 AA power and with the compact body its a good choice.
CHDK is wonderfull for this model

Opinion: This is an excellent camera for the beginner, u can tweak with aperture values, shutter speed, and manual focus at the same time in "Manual" mode. Also, the aperture value range and shutter speed range is quite good especially for cameras of this price range. I think this is great camera for learners. The image quality is pretty good. The camera gives sharp focus consistently.

Overall, its a great value for money if u dont want an usual point & shoot but some more features as well.

N.B. - I have taken most snaps in "manual" mode, so cant tell much about the "Auto, aperture priority, shutter priority" modes.

Opinion: Purchased this as an upgrade from older cameras I use with CHDK -- it works fine with CHDK, but it really isn't an upgrade over CHDK on older models. Despite being a very "plastic" camera, tiny and light, it feels reasonably solid and well made. I also like that it uses just 2 AA cells and it generally works well and captures nice images. My main complaint is that the image quality is slightly poorer than comparably-specified older A-series Canons. Put another way, compared to older A-series cameras, this was clearly designed to a lower price-point with more features (e.g., zoom range and IS), and a slight drop in image quality is the primary sacrifice. I can see this being a great choice for some CHDK KAP work where the size and weight matter and IS couldn't hurt, and it is fine for general use, but I'm a bit disappointed in terms of the peak image quality you can get when you're using CHDK and doing everything right.

Opinion: Given the low price - under 100 € on Amazon.fr - the range of features offered by this camera is startling. This mitigates against it to some extent, because one immediately compares it with with other cameras offering the same features, most of which cost three or four times as much. On this level. image quality lets it down a little, but on its own price level it comes out very honourably indeed.

I bought it mainly to use with a Gigapan, which requires a camera that can be set manually, so I haven't tried it in any of the auto modes nor even in aperture- or speed-priority. But my wife uses one in full auto on her morning runs: she finds it delightfully simple, and the results are good.

It's entrancing, too, to find match-needle exposure metering again after all these years.

The user interface is excellent, easy to follow without looking at the manual (but see the "problems" section as reagrds that) and remarkably complete.

But as regards value for money and sheer photographic fun it beats the rest of the field not just by streets but by transcontinental highways. It's almost worth laying a couple away against the day it goes out of production.

Conclusion: great wee camera, why do without it?

Opinion: This is a camera which is not priced as high by retailers who don't know its real value. This camera is a real must for any photo buff. Full manual settings allow you to tweak f-stop, shutter speed and ISO, while seeing the results instantly on your LCD. It allows manual focusing and an option to zoom in to the object you are focusing to see the effects live. If you just want it for photos without any knowledge of photography, just choose the scene you want, or even better, use the easy mode to have the kid on the street take your group photo. Or adjust the white balance to custom for a personal touch. se sepia if you wish to reduce high ISO grain in low light. This little machine literaly teaches photography in its manual settings.
Pros as list:
-Shutter lag short
-Uses 2 AA(get rechargeable)
-Uses SD card
-Great Grip and great looks
-Real manual settings(there are those who advertise P mode as if it's M)
-Manual Focus, focus zoom
-2.6 f-stop at wide, 5.5 at optical 4x zoom
-On daylight, as good as my EOS350D dslr
-Optical VF
-good price(in my opinion, undervalued)

Opinion: am really beginning to get good results from this camera .i think i like it very much

Opinion: Kupiłem ten aparat dziewięcioletniej córce. Początkowo myślałem, że będzie zbyt skomplikowany dla dziecka. Bardzo szybko opanowała większość funkcji aparatu. Aparat robi bardzo ładne i ostre zdjęcia.
