A joy to use!
(Paul Leighton - 11/24/08)Having very happily used a traditional Canon camera for many years, we recently decided to make the move to digital; can only wish we had done it earlier. The Canon Powershot A590IS is simple to use, has a great range of features and takes the most crisply defined shots I have ever seen. The zoom really does what it says on the box!
Admittedly the camera is sold with a very limited memory card, but given the "budget" price, that is a very minor gripe.
Indeed, the results it produces are far superior to what you might expect in this price range. I would recommend this camera to anyone setting out on the digital photography journey!
