Pleased with the camera overall. I had a Kodak Easyshare camera and I think the pictures from it were more clear, crisp and bright. This one is good, but not quite as over all quality as the Kodak. On the plus side, the batteries last probably 3X's as long. I chose not buy a Kodak again because the zoom lens froze up on the one that I had and from researching on-line it appeared that it was a problem that was pretty consitant with the camera.

I bought a Powershot A570 to replace an old A510 and had to send it back. It had full manual controls, which I liked, and it took pretty good pictures, but the the build quality was horrible. The zoom was jerky and it just didn't feel or sound like a very healthy camera.
This SX100, however, is another story. It is solid, the zoom is smooth as can be and the LCD is a lot crisper than the A570. Plus the picture quality even seems a little better.
My only complaint is when you screw a tripod mount to the camera it covers the battery cover. I nearly always use a tripod and I don't store my camera with the batteries in it so when I want to take them out I have to take the tripod mount off too. But this is relatively minor and I'm sure I can get used to it. While it certainly has enough manual controls to be used by the professional, most people will probably just use it as a point and shoot anyway so this wouldn't be much of an issue.
If you are thinking of going with the A570, and you can possibly swing it, I would recommend spending the extra money for the SX100. The trade-off you get in quality is worth it. Most retailers are getting $300 for it, but I bought mine from Adorama for $235 plus shipping. Amazon doesn't seem to have it in stock right now.

I am a dedicated Flickr member and family photographer. I have a bulky Canon DSLR that's getting old. I bought this camera to complement my DSLR because it has features that my old camera does not have, like video, face detect autofocus, and compactness. I love the video because often all I want is a short clip.
I am impressed with the camera. It is packed with features. On the upside, it can manual focus (I was surprised) and do many other things that my DSLR can do. While most features are easy to use, on the downside, I spent some hours reading the thick manual to determine how to do uncommon things like lock the autofocus and exposure. The manual is quite excellent, so I found out what I needed to know. It just took some time.
As compared to an old Canon DSLR, I found the following pros and cons.
PROS:
FULL-FEATURED for a power user
Latest DIGIC III processor
Compact
Video
Price (especially on Amazon)
CONS:
1-2 second lagtimes
Sensor noise is noticeable for ISO 400 and above
Plastic body
The Canon SX 100 will be my everyday camera to photography family and take in the car whereever I go.
If you are interested, I posted a few shots on this Amazon website. I hope they show up.

BACKGROUND:
This camera replaced our older Canon A70 (3.2 megapixels) which was, in most respects, an older version of the A540. The 540 upgraded us to 6 megapixels, 4x optical zoom (instead of 3x), more options for manual exposure control, a larger LCD screen and only half the batteries (two AA instead of 4 AA) for less weight and a smaller, lighter camera casing.
GENERAL REVIEW:
We've used the A540 for about 3 months and it is as good as I expected. Even with only two batteries the battery life has actually been as good or better than our older A70 that required four batteries. (We compared battery life using the same generic NiMH AA rechargeables from our A70.) As with our older A70, we have a significant amount of control over the A540's exposure settings. My wife most often uses the simple point-and-shoot full-auto mode while I tend jump between various auto and manual settings depending on the shot. We also make great use of the video recording feature -- quite nice when a full-on video camera is not handy. [...].
PROS:
- Impressive number of exposure options for advanced users.
- Operates on standard AA batteries.
- Battery life is very good even when using flash and LCD screen.
- Optical viewfinder in addition to LCD means you can turn off LCD to save battery life or to make camera use less distracting in a dark room.
- Highly-rated for image quality.
- Can add (some) additional lenses and/or filters if desired using a lens adapter.
CONS:
- Can only use SD memory cards up to 2GB in size. With memory prices continuing to drop it would be nice to be able to use a 4GB or 8GB card in the camera. This would be especially helpful for recording longer video clips.
- The A540 ships with a tiny 16MB memory card that only holds about 10 default-resolution photos.
- Card slot shares same area as batteries meaning the batteries will be loose when inserting or removing the memory card. Not terrible but I find it annoying compared to our older Canon A70 that had separate areas for batteries and memory card.
- We replaced our older Canon A70 due to problems that developed during it's 3rd year of ownership. The A70 was well-cared for. If we expect the A540 to be similar in other respects to the A70, we have to expect that it ay also develop age-related problems sooner than anticipated. However, we liked the A70 so much that we bought another Canon despite our eventual A70 problems.

Bought this camera for our 4-year-old. Really, a $100 camera for a 4-year-old? Well, I did not want to spend $85 on Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera - Blue (New Version) that is big and clunky and even though it may be a little tougher, the view screen and picture quality is no match for the Canon PowerShot A470.
I got a nice small camera case and my son has taken great care of this camera. He used it on our recent vacation and he took great pictures. Have created a web site to share his unique outlook on life.
This is a good camera with minimal options, but with great picture quality. The color options were fun for the kid to pick out as well.

We bought this camera because it was rated best buy from consumer reports. And that it is! It is awesome and very easy to use. Although it uses AA batteries, the life is very long - we did not expect that, but we can shoot about 500 8mb pictures w/ one set of batteries. The flash is a little cumbersome - because you have to manually lift it, however we have found that many times the pictures come out better w/o the flash anyway. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone.

I bought this camera after extensive research. I needed a camera that is easy enough to be used by my family members, and at the same time it must allow me to work the manual settings, and with 10x optical zoom.
There are other cameras that might meet the expectations, but they will cost between $40 to $80 more.
I have taken over a thousand shots with the camera in various conditions and I must say that I am very impressed. The lens is so bright that I have taken almost all indoor shots without flash. The 10x optical zoom enables me to take more creative shots. The image quality of the shots are also very good, of course it is not comparable with DSLRs with larger sensors.
For the price of this camera, you cannot get a better deal any where else.
Highly recommended.

Fine instrument for a casual snapshot taker. It's simple, easy to use, reasonably priced and takes good pix. It hasn't all the features of a fancy SLR but it is conveniently sized and it's just right for this household of amateur snapshooters.

I upgraded a 6 year old Canon G1 with the A640. I had been considering purchasing a digital SLR and while this compact cannot replicate all of the features of a DSLR its spec would put some of them to shame.
Having used it for about a month, here are my likes and dislikes.
Dislikes:
The quality of the digital zoom is not really up to much.
Some of the menus can take a while to get used to.
As can the buttons which have multi-functions.
The lack of RAW format for files.
The continuous frame mode could be faster.
Auto-ISO mode can lead to some lower quality images in low light.
Manual focus can be fiddly.
Preview mode can be fiddly, relying on the lens zoom button to zoom in on previews.
Likes:
It takes 4xAA batteries which can be picked up anywhere at low cost.
10MP which compared to my old G1 is a revelation.
Fast lens for a camera of this class, with a good zoom range 35 -140mm.
Excellent macro features.
Fast start up and shut down.
Enough flexibility to be creative in aperture or shutter mode, or let the camera do the work in the many assisted modes.
Spot metering.
Good fold out screen.
The fact that there is also an optical viewfinder for quick shots when you have folded away the lcd screen.
Good software for Mac and PC.
Good manuals - but why are there four of them in different languages.
This is a great camera, that is small enough to be with you at all times but is cheap enough that you do not have to feel precious about it. No need to lug large photo bags with spare lenses, flash guns, filters etc. you can get great shots with this excellent compact. I have used it on PhotoShop on Macs and PCs printing to professional quality Canon ImagePress C1s and both colour reliability and image quality are very impressive for a sub £200 camera.

Whether you are a first time buyer or not, this camera is excellent! It is comfortable to hold, and won't slip out of your hand.
Pros
-Movable LCD which makes self-portraits easy
-Good zoom (digital zoom looks bad in LCD, but if image is focused the picture turns out fine)
-MANY manual options which are quite fun to play with (eg. shutter speed as slow as 15 sec. which can make a shot at night look like one taken during the afternoon, drive feature which takes about three pictures per second as long as the shutter button is depressed in this mode)
-Easy to use Auto functions
-Video editing feature on camera when in playback mode
-The four batteries last very long
-Sensor which detects when you move the camera, allowing LCD to go to a standby mode which will turn back on once camera is moved again (saves battery power)
-Many, many other features
Cons
-Slow zoom on video mode
-Only digital zoom on video mode; low quality video when zoomed in a lot (but good quality when zoomed out all the way)
-High quality pictures (actually a pro, but makes emailing pics as attachments limited because of the 8 MegaPixels)
This camera has lasted me half a year so far and has done nothing but satisfy me while I've owned it. I would DEFINITELY recommend the Powershot A630 to anyone who wants an awesome camera.

The only problem is that this thing REALLY eats batteries. On vacation we went through two Duracell Ultras per day. Worse, I had to listen to the missus whine about it. We tried some fancier batteries that are supposed to last longer, if they actually did last longer it wasn't noticeable.
I'm going to try the canon rechargeable batteries, people seem to like them. It just seems nuts that this camera consumes so much power, but didn't come with a rechargeable, professional grade, battery pack.
(remember that we bought this thing for snapshots AND artful composed shots, and it performs those duties very well.)

This is actually a replacement for one that I dropped in a river. I liked it enough to get an identical one. It is an inexpensive camera useful for activities (like river kayaking) that expose it to damage. A lot of cameras are leaving off the viewfinder. I find that with it, I can compose pictures better, especially in bright light, saves on battery power and is ready sooner after powering up (which also saves on batteries). If it were more water resistant, it would get the extra star.

I love this camera. Compared to the one I had that this replaced, it is 1 million times better. The pictures are great. The zoom is perfect. I like that it's big enough to handle, and small enough to fit in my jeans pocket. It is a little slow recovering, especially w/the flash. But this is so minor, and I will learn to keep that in mind when I'm taking pics.
The cost is phenomenal.

Many reviews on the great aspects of the camera here, just one thing to add. The flash is OK for a point and shoot compact camera, but does take a few seconds to recharge between shots and uses batteries quickly. This is not unique to this camera and my guess is that it just takes power to make a good flash, no matter what camera you use. For those people that need better and faster flash performance, the add on flash unit is the trick. Save batteries and take better indoor flash pictures faster for around $90...

First digital camera and so far it has done what we want. Very easy to set up and use. Inside pictures are darker than you might like but over all it is a fine camera to start with. Easy to move pictures to computer. We are very satisfied. Price was right for a first digital. Other reviews helped to pick this model for price and ease of use. Fits in an old phone belt case instead of a pocket case.

The picture quality is good but the lag time between pushing the button especially with the flash making a bright light while it gets ready for the shot destroys any spontaneous shots especially of my animals or child. It is easy to use and I did not have to do a lot of reading to get it working for me. My disappointment lies only in the inability to take spontaneous photos and maybe that is just the quality of a digital camera. Shop around if taking a surprise photo is of importance.

This is one fantastic camera for the money. Takes excellent pictures (added to the picture gallery). I'm very amateur, but some of the pictures are beautiful. The color is so exact and the clarity is absolutely fantastic. Before I bought this camera, I checked out all the reviews and pictures, and that's what sold me. Especially the close ups of flowers. I've never gotten that before with any other camera, and now I am almost achieving that. Thank you for the reviews and pictures. That's what sold me. As I mentioned this is the best price I've found. Amazon has even beat Walmart's price by $30. Love it!!!

I bought this WP-DC8 housing for my Canon A630 for a vacation trip to Oahu, Hawaii (specifically for Hanauma Bay snorkeling). I also own a Pentax Optio s4i OP-WP2 housing and will compare the WP-DC8 to this.
The WP-DC8 allows full operation of the A630/A640. One quirk I do not understand is the optical viewfinder is misaligned with a plastic lever - the lever has a hole, but doesn't allow use of the optical viewfinder while underwater. The WP-DC8, like the Pentax OP-WP2, is hard to use the LCD underwater as the glare from the water surface (snorkeling; diving may be better) makes it hard to see the image. The optical view finder is also useless; your best bet is to practice 'point-and-shoot' on dry land prior to going underwater.
The WP-DC8 housing is huge and can be bulky for other uses (e.g. surfing, etc.). I use the much smaller Pentax OP-WP2 (see my Amazon review on this one) for surfing as the WP-DC8 would be far too cumbersome.
This WP-DC8 housing is also going to be used in harsh environments such as open sea boat uses (salt spray nearly destroyed my wife's unprotected Minolta F100), dirt environments (e.g. Moab, Utah), and muddy areas (Hawaii ranch ATV tours). It is of high-quality construction, although the Canon WP-DC8 has plastic buttons while my Pentax OP-WP2 has stainless steel buttons; functionally and durability-wise, it's OK, but seems slightly delicate. Time will tell on this one.
The ability to take high-quality 8 Mpixel photos underwater for the price of a $199 housing is very nice. I could not afford to spend $800 for my Canon Rebel XT underwater housing, so the A630/WP-DC8 combination provides most of that advantage at a much lower price.
Operational notes:
Make sure you select 'fish' mode when using underwater. If you change back and forth to movie and still mode, you must reset back to 'fish' mode. Movies work pretty well; highly recommended. Flash is not too bad; I got some good photos with unfiltered flash; the Pentax OP-WP2 tends to get weird image flares reflected back into the lens assembly.
Also, if the camera seems to be locked up, make sure the 'display vs. camera mode' switch is in 'camera mode' - it can be confusing when you're snorkeling/diving.
Since the batteries last longer than a 2 GB card, you may want to consider a 4GB or larger SD HC card (since changing the batteries or memory card is not recommended on the beach or on the water surface).

This WP-DC8 housing is also going to be used in harsh environments such as open sea boat uses (salt spray nearly destroyed my wife's unprotected Minolta F100), dirt environments (e.g. Moab, Utah), and muddy areas (Hawaii ranch ATV tours). It is of high-quality construction, although the Canon WP-DC8 has plastic buttons while my Pentax OP-WP2 has stainless steel buttons; functionally and durability-wise, it's OK, but seems slightly delicate. Time will tell on this one.
The ability to take high-quality 8 Mpixel photos underwater for the price of a $199 housing is very nice. I could not afford to spend $800 for my Canon Rebel XT underwater housing, so the A630/WP-DC8 combination provides most of that advantage at a much lower price.
Operational notes:
Make sure you select 'fish' mode when using underwater. If you change back and forth to movie and still mode, you must reset back to 'fish' mode. Movies work pretty well; highly recommended. Flash is not too bad; I got some good photos with unfiltered flash; the Pentax OP-WP2 tends to get weird image flares reflected back into the lens assembly.
Also, if the camera seems to be locked up, make sure the 'display vs. camera mode' switch is in 'camera mode' - it can be confusing when you're snorkeling/diving.
Since the batteries last longer than a 2 GB card, you may want to consider a 4GB or larger SD HC card (since changing the batteries or memory card is not recommended on the beach or on the water surface).

I love this Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom! It is much lighter and somewhat smaller than my old 4mp Canon. So many new features and buttons to learn! I wonder if all the electronic geeks ever sleep at night, or are they always "dreaming" up new products. God bless them! I agree with all the other good reviews that have been made, as I am not too technical, but I know what I like. And I like this camera!

I bought this camera in May, it's my first "real" camera. A few things I haven't seen mentioned: you can use at least a 4GB card, that was the largest when I bought the camera and it's working fine; there are add-on lenses, I just bought a wide angle and 2X telephoto, and I see there is also a 3X. There's another lens you can buy for closeups. All you need is the adaptor, you can also use filters and an external flash.
This is a very versatile but easy-to-use camera. I've talked to Canon Customer Support once (when I upgraded the memory card) and they were great, but have yet to read the manual. There are all kinds of manual settings to play with, there is also a DVD tutorial available through Amazon that I'm thinking about. Mostly I use automatic or portrait (blurs the background). There's a Canon Yahoo group as well.
Get a tripod if you are shooting in low light, those are the ones that come out blurry for me. Video is sharp, but you can see how much I move ;-) Someone earlier wanted a sports setting, try Kids&Pets.
This is a great camera, the swivel screen is very cool and you'll be amazed at the shots you can get. The more you learn, the more you can do.

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

I am not a guy who knows all the mumbo jumbo stuff about cameras. What I do know is value and quality and this camera has both. It is light weight and can easly fit in your breast shirt pocket. It only takes 2 AA bateries to operate and is really easy to use. When I take a picture I use the automatic mode (I'm to busy taking pictures to worry about all the different kinds of modes and stuff), just point and click, real easy. The pictures come out great and even though you my be moving a little there is no blur. The video aspect is great also, the only limit is the ammount of memory you have in the camera. They say this is an entry level camera, but I disagree. It for sure is a mid level entry digital camera. Maybe one day I'll learn what all this camera can do and really be astonished. All in all a great buy.

This is a great point and shoot camera with that extra zoom that makes it more versatile than most point and shoots. Cannon products have been pretty reliable for me so far.

For the price and size this camera really can't be beat. The still camera images are crystal clear and the 720p video is great for the price. Add on top of that that the camera is small enough to fit in your pocket and you whave a winning combination. I take this camera with me everywhere and use it all the time, and if was any larger I probably wouldn't... but it is perfect for the on the go amatuer.

The first digicam I got (another brand) was very disappointing for my purposes, the A630 is a major improvement. Autofocus works very well in low light. The LCD continues to work in dim light also instead of going blank. Battery life is very good using 2000MAH AA rechargeables. The tilt/swivel LCD display is very handy when its not possible to get your head behind the camera, such as documenting wiring inside an equipment rack or taking shots from ground level. There is a programmable self-timer mode which I have found to be useful. I use the optical viewfinder often in bright sunlight when the LCD is difficult to see, many other models don't have this. The A630 is capable of very good resolution, I have used it for photographing some intricate mechanisms and circuit boards and the detail in the pictures has brought favorable comments. The auto white balance works well in most situations including dimmed incandescent light. Aperture priority mode is great for documentation shots where you need to maximize depth of field, many similar cameras don't have this mode. Outdoors the A630 reproduces blue sky and clouds beautifully without using any lens filters. I have not used the movie mode so cannot comment on that.
The pictures are a bit noisy at ISO 400 and above if enlarged although still good "snapshot" quality. In very dim light (without flash) its necessary to use high ISO and accept a little noise or stabilize the camera and use a slow shutter. The shiny camera case can be rather slippery to hold, I put a strip of cloth tape on it for a big improvement. The computer software provided has limited editing features, I use an old copy of Paint Shop Pro if significant editing 1s needed.
Bottom line: I am very happy with this camera so far, I have been able to get a good picture in just about any situation. It has many useful features the average "point & shoot" does not which makes it a practical tool for work as well as pleasure photography.

My display unit on my previous camera developed a crack and I needed a quick, inexpensive replacement. I am very pleased with the A590IS. More MP than I had before plus it has a nicer feel than the compact, square digital cameras.

I've received this camera today. First, I'm curious about the price, the Silver model has dropped its price by 20 $ since Friday, when I've ordered it (and back then, the Black one was cheaper).
I already own a Canon PowerShot S3 IS and I'm a fan of Canon cameras, so I wanted to buy another Canon. I was looking for something easier to use, more compact and lighter than the S3. I've studied the Canon cameras, read a lot of reviews and settled for an A550, but I wasn't very sure. I've discovered the SX by mistake, while visiting an electronics store. I was amazed by the clarity of the pics and the lightness, compared to the S3. And the zoom... it's actually hard to give up a 12x optical zoom like the one the S3 has, and that quality of images. But the SX proved to be a good choice. Reviews generally criticised the inacceptable noise at 1600 and the poor movie quality. I do agree about the ISO 1600, but movies seemed quite nice and the pictures are good even compared to the S3, although night isn't SX's best friend.
I recommend the SX100 for those who want something more than an A camera, but don't like the bulky feel of an S3 and need something portable and more friendly-user. Otherwise, go and buy an S3 or an S5, their quality in pics is better and the price is almost the same.
All in all, I'm happy with my little SX and thanks Amazon for the order. 4 stars from me - because night and ISO 1600 are poor and reaching for the USB port ain't very easy

I recently received my camera and haven't used it that much but plan to this weekend. So far it's very easy to use but still need to read instructions for all details. I'm a senior citizen so don't like anything with too much attention needed, just shoot and see.
The price is very good, my son bought one so thats why I got the same incase I need help.
Thanks

I found the lcd screen to be extremely difficult to use on a clear sunny day. I could not locate what I wanted to focus on, especially when the subject was moving. On a cloudy day, or if I were able to physically get into the shade, I had much better viewing. Having just returned from a trip to Alaska, and a cruise up the length of Glacier Bay National Park, to the Canadian Border (British Columbia), I was furious when I couldn't photograph whales, bears, sea otters, etc. as well as my daughter with her Fuji. Not being able to see and adjust the settings made for lots of rotten shots. I think you get the point that I do not like this camera very much.
