- Good purchase versus price
I've been looking for a not too big camera and easy to use for my aunt. I have discover this Canon A590Is 8MP which fullfil the demands of her.
Best price, not big size, not heavy with estabilizer and quite good zoom. I stronlgy recommend the product. I can only say the only awful disadvantage is the battery that it use, a 2 AA instead a digital rechargeable battery such other brands.

Rating: - A good camera for the price
I have been a fan of Canon cameras for nearly 10 years and have purchased 4 of them over time.They have all performed well.Everything is easy to use, it has a good feel in the hand.If there is any negative on this camera, it is the time it takes to write the picture to the SD card.It seems to take too long in this function.Also, have been having a difficulty getting it to focus in low light conditions.But if I switch to movie mode, then it has no problems capturing what I am trying to get.
