I just picked up a pair of A590s for my young twin nephews for $40. For both. And guess what? They work fine, and image quality is pretty darn good in good light. Exposure, white balance, and colors are very nice. AA batteries are a plus. The decent sized grips are good for their small hands, and they can use the viewfinders, "like a real camera". Overall, quite a bargain.

As soon as I started looking for a cheap, good quality camera well suited for young budding photographers, the older A series immediately popped to mind.
