This is the only Canon Ixus in this class that has "full manual" mode, which was good for doing some special shots at night.
However, you do need a big fast memory card to get the full potential out of it. But a 8GB(class 6) should be more than enough for most people.

Short story: Stay away from the A590IS, it is not better than the 3 year old A510! Very disappointed at Canon for putting out this subpar product.
CONS:
-Pictures are soft, almost out of focus. Compared A/B with the 510 on same shots identical settings at 3 Megapixels. 510 wins hands down.
-Plastic case instead of metal. Cheap and light feel. If it falls, it is toast.
-Screen is larger, but also are the pixels. So, same resolution at a larger screen = very poor poor LCD image quality.
-Most of the advanced features, such as focus review etc, rely heavily on the LCD, which is of poor quality, so the new features are useless!
-Uninmpressed by the Image Stabilization feature. But maybe I was expecting miracles here.
-No Panorama mode. (510 had a stitch mode where you could panel Left to Right and overlap the pics). I used this a lot in the old camera.
-Batteries and SD card in same compartment. When I take the SD card out, the batteries tend to fall out. Its just a cumbersome process!
-The so called 8 megapixels in this CCD are a bit of a joke. There wasn't a huge difference between taking a 3 megapixel pic and stretching up in Photoshop, compared to the same pic at 8 Megapixel. Very soft!
Here is what you can expect from this camera:
[...]
The noise is abysmal!
Here is what an OLD Canon A620 7.1M camera produced:
[...]
Much better, from a 4 years old camera!
Don't buy SX10IS!
More pluses: Uses AA batteries (I use rechargeables but you could use ordinary batteries if you get stuck on a trip for example), takes SD memory cards (very common, all modern PCs, printers, and even some TVs use them), takes great digital mini-movies (about 100meg per minute, with a large SD card you can take respectable home movies)
On the minus side, obviously this is intended for the casual/novice user, makes a great family camera, but of course if you're a pro you'll want something more (and probably wouldn't be reading this anyway). It doesn't have a viewfinder, but I certainly don't miss it, the screen is large and bright. Also, if you're looking to put this into your pocket, it won't fit, so you'll need a small camera bag.
The only real problem I had with this was when I made a movie of my son's ninth birthday party, the candles caused an odd reflection in the movie - probably something to do with the lens. He ended up with 9 little dots around his face, even though the cake was in front of him. Not a real big deal, it came out kind of cool.
Bottom line: Strongly recommended for family use or if you're looking for a great value for the money. Having owned a Canon before this new one is great and I know I'll buy Canon again when it's time to replace this camera. Recommend going to a "brick and mortar" store and trying it out, then come back and buy it on Amazon - their price cannot be beat! And with super-saver shipping, it got here in 3 days!
Still, as long as the on/off switch doesn't stop working, I think this is a great camera for the money.
I would highly recommend the seller because the product came exactly as described and within a shorter time than expected!
I am very happy with the deal!
This camera's about the same size as her previous one, though it's lighter. I wondered about the plastic casing and whether it could withstand "active use." Already it's been dropped a couple times, and it has survived.
Image quality is pretty nice at 180dpi. Color is relatively accurate. We haven't used any of the in-camera fancy stuff (such as red-eye correction), so I can't really say much about that.
Anyone who is familiar with the PowerShot series won't be disappointed. It's the same deal, just with 8 megapixels. Canon seems to have taken the approach of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," and it's working pretty well with this camera, especially for the price.
It's good for price. Even so, I would not buy this camera again. I would try, maybe, the CAnon SD1200. Or the semi-professional cameras, they are really GREAT!
After reading all the reviews and with experience of a friend's older Ixus I finally plumped for this one. This light compact smooth and simply cool camera goes on every walk. The results are just brilliant, so much so, that I have just sold my Nikon SLR and lenses. Fantastic.
So I heard about these "dual purpose" camcorders that record onto a memory card. I read all the reviews I could find. But let me tell you, don't believe these guys who pooh pooh this camcorder because the images aren't sharp enough or they're not "true" HD, or they use some unconventional file format. If you care about that stuff, then go spend the $3000 to get that stuff. But if you want a pocket sized camcorder to haul around to the family outings, buy this. Still images are excellent. There's plenty of pre-programmed settings (snow, beach, portrait etc.), so you'll always be ready to go. And the video quality is unbelievable coming from this little thing. I got an 8 Gig card and I've never run out of space. I plugged it into my Mac and it worked without a hitch or any messing around with settings, cords, connections etc. Pure plug and play with iPhoto. iMovie imports the movies from iPhoto. The Canon software isn't bad either, but I seldom use it.
The ergonomics do take some getting used to. The shutter button is at the top of the box and it's a little tricky on the first few uses to keep the rest of your fingers out of the frame. The thumb controls on the back for the camcorder can also be tricky to get the hang of. But after a few uses, I got used to it and it feels great now. Be careful asking strangers to use it though because it's not your typical button layout for either a camera or a camcorder.
This is the best $400 I've spent in a long time. Replaced both a digital camera and a camcorder. And it's saved my neck, back and sanity on all those family outings I enjoy shooting.
Pros:
-Compact, long zoom camera
-Good outdoor photos
-Automatic lens cover (something I wish the sony had)
-Manual flash
Cons:
-I personally don't like using AA batteries, but I notice a lot of people would consider this a Pro item
-no battery life meter, tells you that battery is low right before it cuts off
-Ridiculous flash recycle time (I wanted a new camera for upcoming disney trip - characters come and go fast in character meals, I see myself missing precious shots!)
-batteries fall out everytime you change sd card
-indoor photos are either under or over exposed (too much or too little light) causing shadows
I would give 2.5 out of 5 stars but it wouldn't let me. If you are looking for a compact camera with long zoom, I would recommend checking into Sony DSC H10 or DSC H3. Professional reviews are not as good on the sony although I'm at a loss as to why. If you want a camera that you don't have to fool with settings to get good pictures - I definitely recommend Sony.
Though not quite small enough to slip into your jeans, the A550 is still comfortably compact. At 7.4 ounces and 1.7 inches thick, the camera can fit easily into most jacket pockets and bags. The camera's body has an L-shaped design found on most of Canon's PowerShot A series, giving it a generous grip. The buttons are large and comfortable, and they're laid out logically along the back and the top of the camera.
The A550 is a fairly nondescript camera, with few outstanding or unusual features. Its most notable attribute is its 35mm-to-140mm-equivalent 4X zoom lens, which gives it just a bit more range than the 3X lenses typical of most budget cameras. It has a smaller-than-usual 2-inch LCD screen that is augmented by an optical viewfinder for shooting in dim light. Besides those features, the A550 has the standard handful of scene presets and image adjustment settings, including a 30fps VGA (640x480) movie mode and a pleasantly unexpected 60fps QVGA (320x240) high-speed movie mode. Finally, like most Canon PowerShot A-series cameras, the A550 conveniently takes AA batteries.
The A550 performed well in almost all of our Labs' tests. After its brisk start-up time of 1.5 seconds, we could snap a shot once every 1.7 seconds, a great improvement over previous PowerShot A5x0 cameras. Unfortunately, with the onboard flash enabled, that time more than tripled to 4.9 seconds per shot. The camera's shutter was responsive, lagging less than 0.5 seconds with our high-contrast target and a modest 1.2 seconds with our low-contrast target. Burst mode was also pleasantly fast, managing 51 full-resolution shots in 31.4 seconds for a rate of 1.6 frames per second.
Photos looked pretty good, though they're marred by overprocessing and fringing in spots. Colors reproduce well, though indoor photos shot with automatic white balance come out very yellow, a common problem for most snapshot cameras. Noise is low up to ISO 400 sensitivity, where a fine grain starts to appear. Images are predictably noisy at ISO 800 sensitivity, with speckling damaging fine details and softening colors. ISO 800 is usually reserved for low-light and high-speed shooting, and everyday snapshots shouldn't have many problems.
With quick performance and decent photos, the Canon PowerShot A550 is a solid budget camera. It doesn't have many special features and it's not particularly small or light, but it's a strong choice if you don't want to spend a lot for your snapshots.
I'm not a pro but I always wanted a cost-effective deal that would allow me to take better pics of landscapes during my trips. This machine has good and firm grip, crispy quality pictures, awesome movies with the zoom capability and great sound. It isn't a portable camera, so you better consider buying a nice case (not the Canon one) for the camera itself and all the stuff you might need (extra batteries, memory card, cables and so on).
I suggest anyone that is interested in buying this camera to check first for some serious review before going ahead. It is good to know that a new model is now available (SX1 IS) with new features.
I have had this camera Canon PwerShot TX1 for less than one year and the LCD screen only displays all white now. This is very disturbing since I take such good care of the camera. [...] I would not recommend this camera since I am not the only one experiencing this problem. [...]
Auto" most of the time and found that to be satisfactory.
One minor gripe, you can turn the flash off, but not force it on, that would be handy when you are outside, but have shadow on your subjects faces. Other than that, and for the money, I am more than satisfied with this camera
Edit: Upon reading through the manual, I find that I am mistaken. You can't force the flash to fire in AUTO mode, but can in other modes.
1.- My order was placed from Mexico to Amazon on June 27, together with another ten different items which arrived at my daughter's home in Denver by July 7....
2.- I arrived at my daughter's for a month vacation on sunday july 20th, and upon checking my items ordered, I noticed the deffective CANON CAMERA and reported it to the vendor 17TH STREET PHOTO who never answered my complaints and my desired to send it back and exchange it for another BETTER BRAND like PANASONIC LUMIX TZ5K or something equivalent and willing to pay for the difference....
3.-After almost three weeks of complaints to Amazon.com and 17th Street Photo I HAVE NOT HAD A SINGLE ANSWER TO OFFER ME AN HONEST AND ADEQUATE OPTION FOR SOLVING MY PROBLEM......
"THIS WAS A COMPLETE RIP-OFF...!!!"
4.- I now have seen the same camera at BEST BUY here in Denver for $239.00Dlls, where you can operate it and double check it befor you buy it......and they give you a U.S. Garantee for one year...
"I WILL NEVER.. EVER!!! BUY ANOTHER PIN FROM INTERNET....."
ALL THEY EVER WANT IS YOUR MONEY...THROUGH YOUR CREDIT-CARD
I was warned by my sister that the capacity of the memory card supplied with the camera would be too small, so I immediately bought another card. If I hadn't been forewarned, I certainly would have been disappointed on my trip.
Finally, in the course of two weeks I took about 300 photographs and ran through three sets of batteries. The 2x batteries are inexpensive and easy to find, but I don't know if that rate of use is par for the course.
Overall, I was pleased with the ease of use and the quality of the pictures.
There is a large amount of easily available information on the model, so I will just list the main features I have impressed me the most.
Firstly whilst so many are getting smaller and smaller, this Canon has a nice comfortable fit in the hand, with not too many buttons and is not too fiddly to use.
The screen is of a good size which makes it much easier to frame the picture and also in bright sunlight, the image is still visible (unlike some screens).
I plugged in a 2Gb memory card (which was really cheap) so I can now take nearly 1000 pictures, in standard format, before I have to unload to my PC. Connection to the PC is very easy, just appears as an additional hard drive and you can drag/drop the files accordingly.
On the functionality side, the out of the box standard settings are more than adequate, but are easy to adjust. I managed to work most of them out without reading the manual.
As an overall package this camera is great!
The only con is a slight problem it has when taking pictures of eyes. If you use the red eye reduction mode it isn't much of a problem, but without it you may get a lot of green and red hued eyes from your subjects. If you forget to set your red eye reduction mode on you may need to touch up your pictures in a photo editor.
Other than that the camera is perfect! Batteries last long (I'd say over 300-400 pictures per set of batteries - which includes a lot of looking at the screen and reviewing the pictures), their are a ton of customizable settings, the movie mode takes gorgeous movies and the pets & kids mode sure helped me when taking pictures of my new kitten. It also has everything you need in order to plug it into your TV outs and play picture shows for family and friends. Which is great when you want to show grandma some of your pictures and she doesn't have a computer.
The first major use the camera got was at the zoo and in the hands of my wife. She didn't bother to read the manual or practice. Without really kn owing what she was doing - the pictures turned out perfectly! The zoom was amazing!!! She got pictures of the animals that showed such detail as veins on the tongues of the giraffes. Dust cracks on the backs of the elephants and much more. Best part was that she was over 20 to 30 feet away from her subjects and out of harms way. Yet the pictures were so close and detailed!
One tip - get a larger memory card - 1gb or more. As with ALL digital cameras you buy these days you will need higher storage than the card they give you. I mean at the highest quality setting on this camera (7mb) - you can only take about 15 pictures before the camera card they give you is full. Save yourself the frustration and just buy a larger memory card.
For those of you interested in ghost hunting this camera is great! I'm happy to say that after extensive testing this camera doesn't show that many orbs created from dust. Some digital cameras have a hard time with dust and this one doesn't have many false positives in dusty conditions.
The image quality I would prefer to have a slightly oversaturated color. I almost always have to tweak outdoor pictures.
Does not take good indoor(low light) photo's compared to other smaller cameras, flash overfill.
Is rather fragile.
The lens distortion is huge when trying to capture vertical items.
Video is adequate.
Probably the best camera out there with all the features and still fits in your pocket. But a lot of compromises.
If you want better outdoor and event photos, and don't need to fit in your pocket, definately look else where, something with a bigger lense.
For indoor photos or basic outdoor photos, one of the smaller pockets would do.
