My journey with the A590 IS is at an end
2

It was a great camera when it came out and was a lot of fun for many years after. Especially since I like taking time to shoot with more "limited" digital systems but unfortunately I found out tonight my A590 is no longer a part of the roster.

It's last hurrah:

Will there be a replacement one?

I enjoyed my A590 immensely, until it died. A590 cameras are still available used, at reasonable prices. Some look pretty beat up, but others are quite clean.

I love the Canon A590IS, mine still works fine.

I hope Canon brings it back:

Impressive for the price:

Great camera. Loaded mine with CHDK. Traded it for bike. Wish I hadn't.

And that pic could be taken by your phone these days. That's why everything but high end compacts are essentially dead.

I don't think a phone will do this, but phones have taken the consumer market.

Wow, all images look great, better than my iPhone6.

Canon, if you bring the A590is back I will get more than one.

Thanks for sharing. Beautiful images. Please post more.

Sounds like it served you well. Time to move on.

Now, there are cameras not much bigger than that with much bigger sensors and similar zoom range.

I bought mine from B&H for $104 delivered. CHDK gave it RAW/DNGs. In its time it was a bargain shooter with excellent IQ (8MP+sharp lens) and easy to carry. That's why people liked it.

I think he has moved on. He is using film, much better.
He has beautiful images taken with a Canon AE-1 Program + Kodak Porta 400.

Regarding the A590IS, it can't be compared to a G9X (1 inch sensor), apples and oranges... the A590IS was way less money, PASM, AA batteries, F2.6, 4x zoom. Two different animals.

"It's not the camera..." ( I like this)

 Loaded mine with CHDK. Traded it for bike. Wish I hadn't.

It turned out that CHDK did not support the bike...

Does the bike have a USB / SD card reader?

Nice A590IS macro!

And tell us about the zoom on your smartphone? DR? RAW?
