Editorial Review:
8-megapixel effective recording * 2-1/2" color LCD screen * real image optical zoom viewfinder * 4X optical zoom (4X digital/16X total zoom) * 35mm equivalent lens focal length: 35-140mm * optical image stabilization * top JPEG resolution: 3264 x 2448 *
Pros
----
1. View finder - saves battery life
2. AA batteries - no extra camera specific charger; easy to find batteries in emergencies
3. quite small - still fits in a jacket/Bermudas pocket
4. Manual/Av/Tv controls
5. Cheap
Cons
----
1. Av does not blur background much - since sensor size, distance to lens is different from DSLRs, its effectively like 4 to 5x the aperture value. (ie. at widest of f2.6, its more like f13 or more.... )The background just does not blur out unless its quite far from the subject.
2. 35mm at widest and not 28mm which would be ideal.
- 8.0-megapixel CCD captures enough detail for photo-quality 16x 22-inch prints
- 4x optical image-stabilized zoom
- 2.5-inch LCD screen; Face Detection
- New Easy Mode simplifies operation
- Captures images to SD memory cards (not included); powered by AA batteries

Can't get more camera than this
Real value for money camera. A light, "small" compact that gives me some control on exposure when I'm too lazy to lug around the DSLR.

Canon Powershot Digital A590IS
Ordered this camera for a backpack/motorcycle travel camera. I own a Canon Digital SLR also. This camera has been great so far. I don't have one complaint. It is easy to use, menu is very simple, lots of options. I have taken several pictures and have not had a bad one yet. Great camera for the price, body seems sturdy even though some think it is cheap plastic. 2008-10-12
