Canon A590 IS is a great buy and must have camera under budget
3
Hi,I am a semi professional photographer and a great fan of camera's since childhood.
Currently I own Nikon D90, Canon 1000D with 18-135 IS lens, 50mm 1.8 prime, Canon SX210.
You read it correct..Canon Sx210!!!
I wanted a compact for travelling, so I purchased SX210 and I regretted! Its a worst model I ever had.Very bad results in terms of colour and noise.
I was searching a good used canon on ebay and found a deal about A590IS.I searched many reviews about A590 and was glad to read good things about it.I was very careful while purchasing but it was very cheap deal.I got my A590 today and i was surprised to see its image quality.Its far better than recent SX210.I think I would not use SX210 again while I have A590 IS.
A590 produces good images at day and night with limited noise and superb colour reproduction.
I compared both Sx210 and A590 same time and with all settings and I confirmed that A590 is far better than SX210.
I like its structure..it gives solid look to camera.Its Mode dial is a real wealth of this little wonder which describes the capabilities of any camera.Its colours are also nice.Big flash adds the beauty to the front portion.Zoom lever is canon's style...
Pros of A590 IS: Good image quality
All manual controls
Has viewfinder
Big LCD
Good looks and colour of body
Has Image stabilizer
Use AA batteries if someone likes..
Cons:Zoom limited to 4X only
Slightly thicker
its a 35mm lens against todays 28mm (or 25mm with panasonic) so can be a negative aspect
I would strongly recommend for anyone who want to keep this little wonder in their collection.
