 Good camera at the price January 10, 2009

May be I haven't used enough to write review since I bought this camera a month ago. But I used Canon Rebel (big one) with similar function for 5 years. I found this cheaper but newer one is better than old one which is 8 times more expensive back then.
Image stabilizer function is especially working great. I took picture indoor lit not enough. But it came out quite sharp.
If you don't mind a little bigger size, I recommend this camera. No need to spend more money.
 awesome deal! January 9, 2009

i've only used my new canon a590 twice so far, but i absolutely love it! it is by far the best deal on a digital camera in the "cheaper' class, & i would recommend it for anyone who is looking to upgrade from their first cheapie to a superior but affordable digital camera.
Great camera January 9, 2009

I owned a Powershot A70 for years and when I was in the market for a new camera, I thought I would try the Kodak EasyShare M863. I had tons of problems with that camera- flash wasn't working right, (it had to be sent in for warranty repair twice), images were blurry/not crisp and I could not see the LCD screen in bright sunlight (no viewfinder). After so many problems I saw that Amazon had a good deal and good reviews on this Canon camera. I have been using it for a few months now and so far I love it. The picture quality is excellent (so much better than the Kodak), I love that is has a viewfinder in addition to the LCD screen and I love that it is easier to hold and take a steady picture with one hand (the slim cameras are very difficult to hold steady). Another nice feature is that in "playback" mode, you can view what settings you had the camera in when you took the picture which is helpful when playing with the different settings to see what achieves the best picture.
My only complaint like everyone states is that it really uses the batteries. The batteries that came with the camera seemed to last a while but once those ran out and I switched to my rechargeables, it seems like I have to replace the batteries after every picture session. I always keep extra charged batteries with me but I don't remember going through them so quickly with the A70. Overall though I am willing to sacrifice a low battery life with high quality, easy to take pictures.
 Ugh! January 9, 2009

I received this camera today and don't care for it at all. First off, I nearly jammed the battery compartment door as I was trying to load the batteries. Yes, I know the compartment door slides also before it latches, but this thing is so stiff I am afraid it will break very soon. The quality of the pictures is so-so. I think anyone who thinks this camera is the bomb hasn't tried a Panasonic Lumix. Besides the battery compartment, the dial is extremely hard to turn. Maybe these two problems are due solely to the camera being new, but it just isn't cutting it for me.
I also sell on eBay and my cameras need good macro capability. So far, out of 10 shots, 1 has been of sufficient quality to use for an auction.
I am sticking with my Panasonic TZ4 which is a solid build. Sorry Canon!
excellent camera for the value January 9, 2009

I consider myself a little bit of a photography buff, though I prefer my 35mm Pentax to anything digital. So with this Canon I was pleasantly surprised at all of the features. It ranges from a simple, user-friendly choice with automatic settings and multiple atmosphere settings, to a more complex, manual camera with a whole depth of features that make it fun to capture exactly what you want. Since I enjoy the manual aspect of 35mm, I really love the fact that I can change ISO, shutter speed, F stop, focus and everything else to really achieve the results I'm looking for. Its the first digital camera I've owned that actually operates like a camera and not a computer. Nice big screen, sturdy body, easy operating buttons & functions. I love it.
The ONLY thing I don't like about it is how fast it goes through batteries. You should really get some rechargeable ones to go with this because I can go through 2AAs in one day easily with this thing.
