What Others Say
The BEST!
It is the best camera so far. It is very clear and high quality pictures. The shipping was very fast and safe. Don't hazitate to buy camera from Amazon.
Very favorable
I very much like the 590 - I'm still getting use to the difference between this one and the Canon I had previously. My other camera got stolen and it was nice to be able to get a camera that uses all of my old cords. I would recommend a Canon any and every time.

Amazing camera
I got my A590IS about 3 weeks ago and it's amazing how versatile it is.
I also like its solid feel and semipro look. Everyone who has seen it wants to get one.The pictures are sharp and colors are balanced and natural.This camera is simply unbeatable for the price.I'm a happy man.
Fabulous Canon!
I have had this camera for a month and it works great. After reading the review I was some what nervous because of the negatives but I so far do not see any. The picture quality is great and I hear no noises?! I highly recommed Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom. Fabulous Price!!!
Great camera!
Picture quality is awesome, and the image stabilization is better than my last Canon. I just wish the reaction time between pushing the button and capturing the image was a little faster. But I guess that's why people buy SLR's. :)
