Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom Reviews
The camera comes with a 32MB memory card, so I went out and got a 2G one instead (about 500 pictures). The pictures turn out clear, even in low lighting. The owner's manual was very easy to understand. I can download the pictures easily, edit them as needed and send them to family.
Since I'm photographing my kids 99% of the time, I always leave the camera on "kids & pets" setting, so I can't comment of the other settings (there are several). I use this camera just about everyday, mainly to take pictures of my kids and send to my husband in Iraq and my family out of state. For the price I paid, this is a great camera. I'll admit that I'm not tech-savvy, so I was hesitant about picking my first digital camera, online no less, and learning how to use it by myself.
If needed I would buy this camera again.
Quick service. No problems what so ever. This camera is just what I was looking for and more.
Some pictures have been postcard perfect without even trying. Transfer to PC very easy. I like the somewhat larger size, because I can get a good grip on it. So far, I have only used automatic setting.
They are 2700 MAH. In my old Cannon 610, a battery charge lasted forever. First impression of the camera was very good (speed, sharpness, color rendition), but after short usage period the battery warning light came on.
This condition persisted, so I thought possibly new rechargeable batteries were in order. I bought the highest rated rechargeable NI-MH batteries available. Did I just get a lemon. I started using rechargeable batteries, which I had from my old Cannon 610. But, after taking 15 pictures and downloading to a PC, the battery light came on and shortly thereafter the camera shut down. I considered this to be intolerable and sent the camera back.
Estoy muy satisfecha con mi compra. Con esta cámara he obtenido imágenes de insuperable calidad, y por el precio, es mejor aún. Siempre he preferido mayor calidad aunque eso no implique un tamaño super pequeño. Anteriormente tenía otra Camara Digital CANON. Ya deseaba otro modelo un poco mas moderno que incluyera mas opciones.
