Outstanding
This is my third Canon Power Shot and for a point and shot camera it is the best. The picture quailty is very good and they seem to be problem free.
 
Nice addition to an older Powershot
This camera caught my eye as a great replacement for my aging Canon PS A80.
My main concerns were battery life and durability. The A80 uses four AA's and good battery life and has stood the test of time. The A590IS uses only two AA's which makes it a little bit smaller, which makes it more pocketable, and with the newer battery technologies is very acceptable as far as battery life.
The A80 takes great pictures with a mere 4meg pix so the upgrade to 8 was not a selling point. The 590 does have a little bit better video capability which was a selling point.....and the recent low price definately sealed the deal.
At any rate this is a great little camera and should please most newbies and the majority of older Canon PowerShot owners.
 
Great camera
I first purchased a blue Kodak EasyShare M863 8.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Red) and hated it. The pics taken outside were horrible. I returned it and bought this. It takes nice pics, both inside and out. Easy to use. Battery life has been fine as well.

The only problem I found so far has been that the automatic setting does not take decent pics of children who are active. So, I have to put it on the children setting. Which is not a big deal to me. If you are looking to keep it on one setting all the time and not worry about it, then I suggest looking for another make/model.



 
Awesome for the money !!
I love this camera. I'm just a point and shooter but am having a great time learning how to use the more advanced features that this camera has to offer.

It takes great pics with the auto setting but I have been using the "P" program mode with the "my colors" set to vivid to get great pics of the fall foliage.

The video feature also works great and records sound as well.

You can spend thousands on a digicam but for the casual photographer like myself, this camera rocks. And at a price almost anyone can afford.

Oh yea, the macro feature on this camera is fun to play with getting great close up pics of things like flowers, close ups of abe's face on a five dollar bill, etc.....

The 32 MB card that comes with the camera can only take 8 pics at the highest resolution, so make sure you get at least a 1 gig card. The price of the SDHC (high capacity) cards at Americancivilwar were so inexpensive that I bought a 4 gig Sandisk Ultra II card for an extra[...]

I also bought the genuine Canon carrying case for another [...]. It has a belt loop which makes it easy to carry around.

For the money, the Canon A590is is an awesome value. Highly recommended.
