The camera is ok. I have not taken any great WOW inspiring pictures. Have not used it as much as I would like to in order to figure out all the little tricks. Was supposed to be point and shoot, so far not seeing that. It took forever to get the camera. That was biggest disappointment. Will use camera more in coming days to get a true feel of how it works.

Arrived promptly and was as described. It is for a Christmas gift and I am very happy with my purchase. Would buy again.

I had a 4 megapixel canon that I loved, but accidentally got it wet and ruined it, so I replaced it with a ten megapixel Nikon, what a joke, the Nikon’s manual was complicated and I never took a picture over 2.6 megapixel with it, in spite of its ten megapixel rating. Problem was also that the camera would turn itself on in my pocket and the rechargeable battery pack that came with it could only last about fifty picture frames. so I decided to try a Canon again, this time the twelve megapixel camera, again, the camera only takes 3-4 megapixels at the most, but at least I can use rechargeable AA batteries that last for 300 pictures or more, and the on off switch is so well recessed I don’t have to worry about it turning itself on without my knowing it. For my money you have to stick with Canon, simple instructions, maybe not performing like I would like, but way better than a Nikon… don’t get Nikons, stick with Canons.

I’m checking the Consumer Guide magazine July 2009 “CR Best Buy” and under the COMPACT on page 28, it’s the Canon Power Shot A590IS; and the price range is $110. The overall score for this camera is a 70. Why is the Amazon price so much higher? Did someone make a mistake?

After less than 30 shots the batteries went dead and Amazon gave me no access to lodge a battery complaint. The only alternative for me was to return the camera which was not defective as were the batteries. I chose to replace the batteries rather than return the camera. I suggest that there be a battery replacement guarantee for the first month.
