 Nice camera, some slight issues January 4, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My son bought this camera for me this Christmas and I'm still learning how to use it, but I'll do some pros and cons here:
Pros: View finder, large LCD screen, great macro setting, nice size with hand grip.
Cons: Long delays between shots, grainy at long range, flash too bright, no neck strap.
I really like the feel of this camera, and I love the view finder, but overall it's a step down from my present camera. I have a Konica Minolta Dimage Z20, 5 megapixels and 8X optical. I love that camera but it's too bulky to take everywhere. It doesn't have the image stabilizer but it seems to take clearer pictures than the Canon does. However, the macro on the Canon is much better than the KM, and that's important to me.
I'm really concerned with the long delay between shots, and if anyone can tell me how to fix this, I would appreciate it. I'm not especially techno-savvy and that thick manual is pretty intimidating! (But at least it comes with a manual.)
 Very nice macro capability January 4, 2009

I am particularly interested in macros (close-ups), and wanted an easy, tote-along camera for hikes and other nature explorations. Couldn't be happier with the A590, and for the money, it can't be beat. See sample macro image of winterberries that I uploaded. Focuses down to 2".
This was my best Christmas purchase in years January 3, 2009
The people who received this camera for Christmas loved it. It was, by far, the best present I have ever given.
I'll get the hang of it January 3, 2009
I just got the camera, and right now I'm glad there are Easy and Auto modes. I'll be carrying my little manual with me for a while, but it seems really nice. I also will have to figure out the printer for it, that I've yet to unbox. I can already say that I'd buy it again.
 Feels Very Cheap January 2, 2009
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this camera only after reading many of the excellent reviews of it. Sadly, none of the reviews I found mentioned how cheap this camera feels. As soon as I opened the box, I noticed that it was made out of cheap plastic, and several of the buttons were loose and shaky. I thought that I would get used to it, but every time I picked it up, it seemed to feel more cheap and plasticky. The picture quality on it was about average. Nothing special and a little grainy. That picture quality would only be acceptable on a cheaper camera with a more sturdy build. The Canon is also very slow. It takes a long time to turn on, and a long time to focus and take a picture. The many delays can be devastating if you plan to us the camera taking nature pictures. An animal could runaway before you have the camera turned on. Because of all these things, I returned it the same day that it came. I gave this camera two stars instead of one only because of the considerable number of high reviews. There must be something good about this camera, however, I could not see what it was.I bought the Nikon Coolpix S550 camera instead. It feels very sturdy, and can take excellent pictures. I have even dropped it several times and the Nikon barely scratched (this camera felt as if it would shatter if you were to drop it). However, if money is not a factor, and you don't care to much about picture quality, and you can be very gentle with this fragile camera, then this is the camera for you.
