Does everything well except take sharp pictures
(Dan - 7/27/09)I bought this as a replacement for a ten year old Fuji fine pix that finally died. I'll admit the a590 IS is really simple to use,
but the clarity on outside nature shots is really disappointing.
I live in a cabin in Vermont and I've been trying to get one decent shot of it - no dice. I've taken hundreds of shots on every setting during every type of lighting situation and haven't got one decent shot. Last year I tried to take a shot of a particularly beautiful tree during a glorious foliage season. Again, hundreds of shots in every light you can imagine and not one decent shot. Not one. Last year was the best foliage season in ten years and all my shots are are washed. No sharpness.
I've got off some decent shots of items for ebay. Indoors and close-ups - The camera is good for that. Also, I have yet to get a blurry shot due to hand motion.
My old Fuji was a clunky and had very few features. I did get a fair amount of blurry shots due to hand motion, but when I did get good shots they were GREAT!!! Put that Fuji lens on this camera and you'd have a real winner. I wish fuji would get their stuff together, they are really under achieving on their new cameras. They had technology ten years ago to get fantastic pictures.
I'll keep this camera for easy indoor shots and ebay pictures, but I'm currently looking for another camera for outdoor use.
