I received my camera in September 08 shortly before my birthday. I have a budding interest in photography and have been experimenting with different cameras. This is the third camera I have bought in the past year. The price was unbeatable and it has more features than my previous camera which cost over $300.00. My step-father saw my camera on Thanksgiving and ordered three. One for himself and two as christmas gifts for other family members. The camera is super easy to use and makes fantastic shots. Buy it you will not be sorry. J. Alexander

I tried a few other cameras (some bought and returned in the same day) in a quest to find an inexpensive backup for our primary Canon point and shoot. Based on ratings and my own experience with Canon cameras, I ordered this camera from Amazon without trying one. As I expected, this is a great unit for the money.
The picture quality in indoor light conditions is much better than other brand cameras I tried in this price range. Also, the canon cameras seem to do very well taking video clips at normal indoor light levels - definitely note the case on some others I tried.
I would recommend this camera as a strong performing inexpensive unit.

The Canon A590IS is a lot of camera for a very moderate price. Furthermore, Consumer Reports just rated it a best buy.

The camera body is plastic but it is substantial and feels solid. Be sure to get 2500 NiMH batteries as they will last the longest. The manual says you should get approximately 450 shots with a fresh set of NiMH, 2500mAH batteries and approximately 200 shots with regular Alkaline batteries. The batteries are quick to change and a separate coin battery in the camera keeps the date/time and other settings from falling out so you are up and running in no time. Some reviews have said you can't zoom when shooting video but that is not the case. Granted, you won't have the digital zoom capability, but that has not been an issue for me.
I like this camera and I'm pleased at how it works a feels. For the price, it is, by far the best ... Read More:
