Introduction

Let me start by providing some background on my experience with digital cameras. I bought my first 1.3 Megapixel digicam back in 1999 for $219.99 when digital cameras were just starting to gain popularity in the marketplace. It was a Fuji MX-1200 and it took surprisingly good... Read full review »

My husband says I volunteer too much. Maybe he’s right. He says that people have begun to expect me to always jump up and say, “I’ll take care of that!” Again, maybe he’s right. But I enjoy what I do and do only what I enjoy.

Cons choppy fps in video mode, low resolution screen, no panorama assist

I own several cameras (digital and film) and this is by far the most fun of all to use. The reason is quite simple; it's a small camera that is easy to use, and takes great pictures. It allows me to concentrate on taking pictures instead of worrying about the camera. I can take this camera anywhere... Read full review »

I purchased this camera about a month ago when my other digital camera (reviewed in my Epinions page) finally gave up the ghost. After reading reviews of cameras on Amazon.com, this particular camera stuck out for the features it had, with a reasonable price.

For my wife's birthday she asked for a new digital camera. I'm by no means made of money, but I came across the Cannon Power-shot A590 IS. For the $150 I paid the quality is outstanding. The 8 mega pixel resolution provides for attention to detail and after having some prints made at the local CVS... Read full review »
