This is not a real review because I did not use the camera long enough to find out everything it can do. But in the short time I had it I took a few photos and a couple of videos and it performed flawlessly so if you are considering buying this camera you'll wind up with a winner. The main reason I bought this model is because I'm an old SLR person and I use the viewfinder primarily. With digicams that have LCD screens only (no viewfinder) be ready to spend big bucks for alkaline batteries or buy rechargeables which you'll probably be charging constantly. With some digicams that have an EVF (Electronic View Finder) plus an LCD screen you may have to switch between the EVF and the battery-draining LCD screen when you turn it on. With the SX10 IS as well as similar Canon models, you don't have to use the LCD screen until you need it, saving your battery power. And the LCD screen can be rotated instead of just flipping up and down.
You don't have to buy this camera right off the bat. Visit a Canon dealer and handle the camera. You'll buy it without hesitation.

Una pieza fantastica. Siempre he usado camaras de bolsillo y sencillas de usar y realmente tenia mis serias dudas para adquirir una camara compleja para un usuario noprofesioanlcomo yo. Sin embargo, la especificidad delmanual, las recomendaciones de todos los usuarios escritas en los "reviews@ aqui y un el sinnumero de "blogs"que estan disponible en la red para este producto permitieron una experiencia maravillosa. Definitivamente puedo enumerar ciertos aspectos que la hacen tan versatil:
1. El zoom: proporciona posibildiades de captura de imagenes fantasticas.
2. Las baterias: para los amantes de la aventura al aire libre en sitios hinospitos y para travesias de larga duracion, el uso de baterias del tipo AA permiten cambiarlas sin necesidad de contar con celdas de recarga solar.
3. La pantalla movil: sin palabras, solo debe usarse y se tendran imagenes previas y enfoques que de otra manera seria imposible incluso pensarlos...
4. Tan robusta, fuerte y resistente como aparenta ser: creanme, la he llevado a expedicioens espeleologicas, acesos a altas montañas, sitios de elevado nivel desertico y elevada humedad, condiciones de exrremo frio y aun es mi pieza favorita entre el equipaje.
5. Es liviana. Pese a su gran tamaño el peso realmente esmenor al que aparenta ser...
algun contra? la ubicacion de los controles en condiciones de baja iluminacion podrian mejorarse para hacerlos mas accesibles.Alguna especie de "flood light" podria ayudar.
Conclusion: altamente recomendada y, en mi caso particular, ahora es necesario trascender alas PRO de la misma serie....

This product seemed to go downhill after about a year. It started eating batteries like crazy and now just does not work anymore. 3 years old! Will not purchase Cannon again.

I was hoping more from this camera during low light. It is very noisy. And I also though the intelligent contrast correction didn't work at all. My husband took a photo of me on the beach and my face is very dark. I have Photoshop to fix it though. Overall I am please with it, I do not regret this buy. My husband has a legit digital SLR and this does not really compare. But it takes good enough photos to blow up to 8x10, and if I learn more about digital photography I'm sure I will get better photos out of it. The zoom is great. I didn't have a problem with it sucking up batteries. I bought 4 (expensive) lithium batteries back in May and I am still using them even after an intense 2 week trek through Mexico where I took over 500 photos and a few videos. I keep a spare set with me (just normal AA) in case they die unexpectedly and I can't get any lithium batteries, which I will continue to use with this camera. They are worth the cost.

The service from ordering and setting up the camera was fantastic! Previous cameras have been Olympus, Panasonic and Cannon. This one is so easy to use and the only (2) draw backs are that we had to buy the SD card yet the batteries where supplied? And what happened to the free case as an incentive to buy-common on marketing, give a little have a lot syndrome? Keep your customers happy they will come back for more..You would have got 5 stars otherwise.

We bought this camera to replace our old instant, and have been really pleased with ease of use and the quality of the pictures. Would have liked to buy an SLR but they are a bit bulky for holidays, so this is small enough to carry round yet still have the benefit of a good zoom lense.

I got this camera back in 2007 and meant to write a review, but never got around to it. It's a good camera. It takes decent macro shots, does good telephoto if you don't go all the way to the end of the zoom, and has good color. Try the saturation filter in Picasa if you really want to make the shots pop, but what comes off the card works well enough.
You can install CHDK on this to get focus and zoom during video recording, longer exposures (takes perfect long exposures with the ISO 200 or below), RAW shooting, and better bad pixel removal. That's professional-ish, so it might not be for you. The camera is fine as-is.

Like most other A1000IS users, I too am experiencing a terrible battery life problem. My camera worked well for 6mos and then began to burn through batteries. I'll bet that many or most of the initial reviewers of this product have come to the same conclusion. There are a number of independent threads on this camera's battery life - read them. Do yourself a favor and purchase a different camera - this one has become unusable.

Canon's A590IS is apparently one of those rare items, that is of such quality, that it commands a premium price, even over newer models. The price history for this excellent performing point and shoot is quite remarkable. The camera debuted early in 2008 at around $200, and over time dropped down to around the $110 level. However the price rebounded and increased to stratospheric levels. The highest price I observed, was about $350 for a brand new model.
I have had this camera for over a year, and have been completely satisfied with its performance. I paid $140, and was tempted to buy another when the price was $110. This camera is with me most of the time, and I have taken many thousands of images, with a `keeper' rate above 90%. I have used it to shoot almost anything, except for fast moving subjects or sports. Subjects have included, casual everyday moments, images for work, special events, family gatherings, my dog, and vacation memories.
As an avid user of Canon SLR's, I had been disappointed with the previous A series Powershot cameras I owned. The images did not have great colors, the zoom mechanism was clunky, the shutter delay was annoying, and it took a while to write to the memory card. All this changed with the A590IS. Color rendition is excellent, and the white balance settings work very well. The camera is not suitable for shooting action sports, but the autofocus is very reliable in most situations, including low light or at night. Shutter delay is minimal. If you use flash at high ISO, it does take a while to write to the card, but otherwise time delay between shots is minimal. The zoom action is not the greatest, but it is much improved, and more responsive. The camera also shoots pretty good quality movies, with decent sound.
The A59IS has a heavy duty, metallic gray, wear resistant housing, that is thick, providing for an excellent grip. The camera accepts HDSC cards, so you can take thousands of images, or shoot some pretty long movies. Battery life is good, using AA sized NiMH batteries. The 2.5" display is substantial, and the flash pretty powerful. Like any camera, the controls take some getting used to, but the design is similar to other Powershots, and not too complicated. Shooting mode is selected using the dial on the top of the camera. Program Mode (P) works fine for me most of the time. The size could be an issue for some, as the camera is a little bulky to slip in a pocket, but overall this is a very solid performing point and shoot.
Is the A590IS worth paying a premium price? Although I am very happy with mine, the camera has been on the market for almost two years! Newer cameras probably offer more features and better performance, for the same money. As good as the A590IS is, I am on the lookout for a smaller camera to replace it someday. Canon's new SD940IS looks like an interesting possibility.

Greetings-- since the release of this camera I have been following all the user reviews on Amazon and the consensus seemed to be overwhelmingly positive. Based on the user reviews and other research that I did, I pulled the trigger and bought one. I was really excited about getting this camera because it sounded like the next step up over what I currently have.
When I received the camera I began running it through it's paces. Very soon into it I began to see issues with the camera. Moving beyond those though, I started taking test pictures using all of the different settings available. I then loaded the images to my PC and began looking at them. What I viewed was very disappointing. First off, the images were not sharp. Secondly, the colors seemed muted and they were not very accurate to what the actual scene looked like. Lastly and on closer examination, I was stunned to see large amounts of purple fringing. This is a problem I would expect on earlier generations of digital cameras, but not now and not on a Canon. What is really sad is that purple fringing is most common in high contrast areas; with my test pictures high contrast scenes were not the case. The purple fringing explained the lack of punch, sharpness, and color accuracy. Thinking I may have received a defective camera I did some Googling. To my surprise I found other people were reporting the same problem with this camera.
I have to tell ya, prior to this Canon purchase I had used a Kodak Z650. The images I get from the Kodak blow away anything I got out of the Canon. Needless to say, the Canon was returned for refund. (I want to thank Amazon for the quick and painless processing of the return.)
Here are some other issues I found with this camera:
1. The selector wheel that is used to navigate within the menus did not translate properly. I found myself spinning it around several times before it would begin moving the cursor. Along with that there was a stickiness to it. It would stick and you'd have to apply more pressure for it to turn, this in turn caused the cursor to jump father than you wanted to go. It was frustrating to use. You can get around all that by pressing the dial down in the corners for the direction you want to go. That seemed to translate well but it is more time consuming. One click equals one position in the menu. If you want to reach the end of the menu you'd have to click your way through one position at a time.
2. I feel the menu layout and functionality was poorly designed and not very intuitive. There are too many layers to navigate through and too many ways to get where you want to go. Here again, my Kodak does a much better job in accessing the options and settings. And just to be clear, the Kodak has many of the same SLR functions to choose from. My point being, it's pretty much an apples and apples comparison. The Kodak is extremely easy to navigate and very easy to learn. Canon could take some lessons from them. I'm not trying to sell Kodak here. The Kodak has it's own issues. The one main thing going for the Kodak is that it is capable of producing some stunning images, and that is the very least I'd expect from a camera.
3. The camera is pretty heavy as others have reported. It's not a problem for me but I think it is worth mentioning again.
4. I found that the lens cap falling off was not a problem for me, but taking it off was. I found this primarily true when you are using the lens shield that Canon supplies. It was difficult for me to fit my fingers between the inner lens shield wall and the lens cap where the releases are located. It was very clumsy and difficult to squeeze the tabs in order to release the cap.
I would have overlooked notes 1 to 4 if the image quality had been there. Sadly for me it wasn't.

Works perfect with my Canon photographic cam model SX20IS. I recommend it.I tied up the cap rope from the cam rope end. So it's comfortable when I put it off and back again, the cap just stays on the side of the cam.

I bought the Canon TX-1 while planning a trip to Yosemite National Park. I wanted a compact, light weight camera (its about the size/weight of a double deck of playing cards) that would take good quality video (it takes 720 HD) and still pictures (it does 7.1 MP). I was also looking for a camera that would be smart enough to have both automatic "point and shoot" settings with image stabilization (for pictures on the fly) and extensive manual control of features like flash (supression/fill), ISO (it does 80-1600), etc. (when I had more time to compose my shots/use a tripod). I also wanted a powerful zoom (it has a 10x mechanical zoom) to bring in distant targets--think Bridel Viel Falls from Tunnel View. At the same time I wanted to be able to take extreme close ups of flowers, water droplets, or what have you (it has an excellent macro mode which operates even for HD video--you should see my inch worm monster movie!). I'm also happy that the TX-1 uses SD picture cards allowing for essentially limitless storage, remember HD video takes up a LOT of memory and a rigid hard disk size would have been to limiting (I like to use 16GB SD cards which hold about 45-50 minutes of video or up to 3000 stills or a proportional mix of each). It has a lithium-ion battery which lasts about 45-50 mins. with normal use of zoom, flash, etc. (conveniently this is about as long as a 16GB SD card will allow you to shoot HD video--note that the codec Canon uses allows you to shoot video in up to 15 minute segments--about 4.5 GB or the size of a DVD). This is not usually a problem, as most videos are much shorter, and if need be you can start recording again almost immediately. Canon's codec is also provides for very good picture quality and color balance even with playback on a 46" 1080p HDTV. Their included software is quick and easy to use especially for downloading images, photo stiching, basic editing, and sending prints to my canon printer. I do have some nitpicks. It has a built in flash which allows still photography in dark conditions, but the video quality does suffer somewhat in low light (try the HI ISO setting it helps). Its small size does take some getting used to, but once you are comfortable with it you'll love its portability. I find it necessary to carry several SD cards and several batteries when out in the field, since the batteries take about 90 minutes to charge (I do this overnight). The camera strap is a sturdy but bulky leather contraption which is totally at odds with the rest of the cameras design--I replaced it immediately with one from an old relic I don't use anymore. Overall this camera is an amazing machine, small, lightweight, versatile and most importantly produces high quality stills and video. Finally, my father-in-law (a fellow techie/gadget monger) was so impressed with (or jealous of?) my new toy that he ran out and bought one too--how's that for an endorsement!

I ordered this as a replacement for the lens cover that came with my camera (Canon SX20 IS). I lost the original cover because it was not attached to the camera. I really appreciate the strap that keeps this cover attached so I can't lose it! Lens Cap with String Leash Strap for Canon Powershot SX10IS, SX10, SX20IS, SX20, and IS Digital Camera - The Camera Hunter Replacement It's a perfect fit, a good value, and worth every penny.

REALITY CHECK! I am a "camera freak," I just love the things. I own the SX10 (and previously a stack of other digital cameras ... starting with that SONY MAVICA with the 3.5" diskettes a LONG time ago), and love it. I previously owned the S5, and it was also excellent. I bought the SX10 for the awesome LENS CAPABILITIES, and have not been disappointed whatsoever. It takes magnificent pics, has that enormous range, is COMPACT, and has that "heft" to it that gives it the feel of a "serious" camera. Now: for the REALITY CHECK: I just bumped into the Canon 40D and 50D models at a local store. You've seen them: big, hefty, big lcd (without the cover the SX10 has ... can already visualize the SCRATCHES from shirt buttons, etc.), big lenses with those ridges on them that seem to beg you to pick it up and zoom in/out. Then I remembered: I bought the 30D some time ago. Bought all the lenses, external flash, cards, batteries, case, etc. Took it home and, after the battery pack was charged, went into the picture taking drill. I was shocked! A cheaper camera that I had took brighter/clearer pics than this EXPENSIVE get-up I just bought! I took a stack of pics with both: same result. I brought that set back to the place where purchased and that was that. There is no doubt that the 30D was worth the price, to demanding pros, but not to me. And this is the point I am trying to make: for the AVERAGE 'JOE' or 'Jill', you probably don't need all the bells 'n whistles these advanced DSLRs certainly deliver. If you are NOT a pro, NEEDING to manipulate a zillion settings manually and exchange lenses to match what you want to accomplish, this SX10 is probably gonna be PERFECT for you! You will not have to buy an array of EXPENSIVE add-on lenses (read the reviews for the 50D, for example, and you will see that super camera is, in the end, "lense dependent" ... that is: the end results will depend on the quality of "the glass" you have attached. This can get to be a VERY expensive proposition for all but the very serious pros). If you, like me, just want GOOD PICTURES without all the fuss, then ... in my very humble opinion ... this SX10 is probably all you will need for the remainder of your time on the planet :-) (I will admit, after putzing with both the 40D and 50D, I found it hard to walk away without buying one/the other. It's almost impossible to not be overly impressed with their great appearance, obvious wealth of options, and "heft" value. But, remembering my experience with the 30D, and the fact I obviously was not ready for multiple lenses, and the complexities involved with high-end cameras, I walked away). You can read the attached excellent reviews on the SX10 to find all about batteries, external flashes, bags, etc.
Wishing to add a comment/two about certainly real concerns that run through these reviews: LOSING THE LENS CAP and DROPPING THE CAMERA. For the initial concern: go to RITZ CAMERA, for instance (AMAZON probably also sells this), and buy the QUANATRAY LENS CAP LEASH. It affixes to the lens cap and the camera body, problem solved for $1.99. As far as DROPPING the thing ... DON'T!! I use the CANON WRIST STRAP (bought mine via EBAY) and really like it. A thin over-the-neck strap came with the unit (which I don't particularly like), USE IT! But, do ensure the LCD SCREEN is COVERED when walking around with that neck strap to not scratch the lcd with shirt buttons, etc.
UPDATE: 2-17-09: I'M BACK ... again. I could not resist the urge to get another SLR. I bought a real GOOD one, bought more lenses, flash, etc. AND, just like the one I brought back before, I BROUGHT THIS ONE BACK! The BOTTOM LINE is: THE PICTURE. This expensive array did NOT take better pics than the CANON SX10IS! I am sticking with this GREAT Canon FOREVER! It does EVERYTHING ... and in a wonderful small package. No lenses to lug around and have to change as the scene demands ... just zoom on from 28mm to 560mm(!) without missing a beat. Super camera!
Regards.

This is my first digital camera - I prefer film, as I have been a relatively serious amateur since age 13, (now 74), and I bought a digital only for the ability to download to a computer. The technical quality of the images is usually good, but I prefer being able to make my own settings with f-stops, shutter speed and focus.
The A100IS has the options for manual control, but because of the poorly organized instruction manual, and the complex and unintuitive menu organization I have found it difficult to work with this camera with any assurance of success. It is just too complex for me. So - I have pretty much gone back to my film cameras - that way I know I won't miss the important moment that won't come again. (If there was a digital camera that was completely manual and had no more user-controls than the film cameras I would pay a premium for it.)
The world seems to have forgotten the advantages of "simplicite', simplicite', toujours simplicite'

Let's face it ... the point n' shoot digital camera market is saturated with quality cameras that all are capable of delivering good quality photographs. However ... Canon is one of the few that offers some features others don't. First and foremost is a VIEWFINDER. While it may not seem like a big deal ... a viewfinder is critical when shooting outdoors in bright sunlight. (Ever tried looking at an LCD screen when the sun is at your back?) Another feature I prefer is that this camera operates on two double A batteries which are available almost everywhere. If you prefer rechargeable batteries, they are also available but double A's are a nice option when your rechargeables run out of juice. Lastly, I find the Canon controls to be simple and intuitive for most users. The large LCD screen is very crisp and the ergonomics very good with a "grip" molded into the sleek body. This is certainly a top contender if you are in the market.

This camera takes beautiful photos and is so easy to use.
Batteries last a long time.
The only downside is that there is no auto-flash option... well, there is, but you have to remember to manually lift the flash in order for it to work. That's kind of lame. Really lame, actually.
But I still love this camera!
Especially the non-proprietary USB connection and the fact that it takes two AA batteries.

The first one I ordered was broken, the second one I ordered was also broken. (same part was broken; looked a lot like the same camera I had sent back)I am now waiting for my refund. Will let you know if that goes smoothly. Was impressed with the quick response to my emails about the defective cameras so we shall see how the refund goes, but I was not happy with having to pay $13.94 each time I had to send the camera back. That is $27.88 that I should not have had to pay. Update: They agreed to refund my money for the camera. Problem was they only refunded $221.60 but the camera cost me $277.00. So far they have not answered my email as to why they are not refunding the whole amount. Will post more when I know more.

I bought my Canon PowerShot A590 IS about six months ago and I'm very happy with the purchase. My main use for the camera was to take pictures of faces, groups of people, places, and business images for posting on my website [...] Example pictures would be office buildings, conference rooms with chairs, people working at laptops etc. This camera is so easy to use and has so many features that I don't think I can include all of them here so I'll focus on only my top favorites.
AA Battery Power
#1 favorite feature of the Canon PowerShot A590 is that it uses AA batteries. What that means is that I (or you) don't have to stop and plug the camera into a wall outlet and wait for the battery to recharge. No, I can simply carry a few extra AA batteries in my camera case and if I find myself taking 200 or more pictures in one afternoon, I can just replace the batteries and continue taking pictures. The camera warns you of a low battery power situation with an indicator located on the display. If you don't want to keep buying AA batteries, you can use rechargeable AA batteries and keep an extra, fully charged set of those batteries in your camera bag, handbag, or backpack.
Large 2.5 inch LCD Screen
#2 favorite feature is the large 2.5-inch LCD screen with face detection technology and red eye correction. The display is very big. You can easily see what you want to photograph without having to squint your eyes. The image is clear and bright. If you are taking a picture of a person's face, you can clearly see whether or not the person is ready and the picture will be good or if you have to give him/her some coaching to get a good facial expression. (eyes open, etc) You can make the camera focus on a certain face in a group or an object by pressing the picture button down only half way and looking in the display. You will see a square appear around the face/object and if that's what you want the camera to focus on then you press the button down all the way to snap the picture. The camera has three options to fix red-eye but as of yet, I have not had any pictures which came out with a red-eye issue.
No Blurry Pictures
#3 favorite feature is the 4x optical image stabilized zoom. What this means is the camera has a technology that will keep your pictures from coming out blurry even if you move your hands a little or your subject moves a little bit. So far, I have not had any pictures with a blurry image.
Easy Downloading and Printing
#4 favorite feature and maybe the best. Easy printing - this camera features a Print/Share button for easy direct printing to a printer or downloading to your computer.
So to download your pictures from the camera to your computer or laptop, just connect the USB cable to your camera and connect the other end to your computer's USB connection (any of them). Once it's connected and your camera is ON and in the picture review mode, whatever picture software you have installed on your computer will open automatically. Next, you'll select the menu choice to "download" the pictures to your computer. (I use Adobe software for digital photos.) When the pictures are downloaded to your picture directory, you'll see a new folder added with the current date. You can delete the pictures from your Canon camera after they've finished downloading by either choosing the "delete" menu option in your picture software program or by using the menu button on the back of the camera itself. The menu button is easy to see on the back of the camera and is the starting point for pretty much any feature you are interested in using. Just press the menu button and then use the "func set" button to scroll down the menu list which you'll see on the LCD display.
To sum up my thoughts about the Canon PowerShot A590 IS camera, I would have to say it's very easy to use, takes great pictures, and is very inexpensive. I highly recommend this camera.

I purchased this camera from a pawn shop, while I was trying it out the battery light kept flashing, I thought no big deal it just needs batteries. So I bought it and I have been replacng the batteries ever since, y the 3rd picture it shuts off. It does take great pics though but you just can't take a few and choose your fave cause you can only take a couple at a time.
