Extremely good value for money
(5 out of 5) by E. J. Ewing on May 14, 2009Canon PowerShot A590 IS Digital Camera (8.0 MP, 4xOptical Zoom) 2.5" LCD
According to situation, I use a Nikon D200, a D40, a Coolpix P5000 or a Panasonic TZ3. I bought the Canon A590IS as a light, cheap camera that allows manual setting to use on a Gigapan, but I've rapidly found out that it's well suited to general use, and provides features and image quality I'd have expected to pay a lot more for. Furthermore, they all *work*: this as opposed to some cameras where autofocus hunts in low light, macro is a joke and noise reduction turns Photorealism into Van Gogh every time.
Oh aye, it does point & shoot as well, has the usual slough of "modes", zooms silently while recording videos, provides clean sound from the onboard mike and has an optical viewfinder. And it takes WA & Tele converters. It doesn't make coffee or walk the dog, but only just.
A delightful discovery.
