(+) Upgraded from the 6MP model, which I loved. This camera meets all expectations. Similar easy-to-use format; a few minor changes for the good. And, yes, you can see the craters on the moon with the 20x optical zoom. But I prefer using it to bring objects 6 feet away to within inches. This model also features a hot shoe for an optional flash. The Zoom-Browser software has been improved...good for maintaining files and simple photo fixes.
(-) Had to buy a lense cap tether. Sometimes the auto-focus has trouble if you are zooming in too much on close-ups. (That's just a matter of getting used to the camera's quirks.)

What can you say about this camera other than spectacular value probably the best buy out there on the market today.I am convinced that you won't find a camera out there with this impressive feature set with canon quality and world class imaging technology in such a compact package for this very reasonable price.When it comes to advanced point and shoot cameras the powershot line is the benchmark by which all others are measured.In fact it is a misnomer to classify this camera as just a point and shoot it is capable of producing excellent images with an astounding 20x zoom range and a feature set that is incredible period.However with that said entry level DSLR's are closing the gap with aggressive pricing stratagies squarely aimed at this segment of the market.This might be something to consider if you have contemplated making the jump DSLR's still produce the best quality images because of the sensor size and type(CMOS)very low noise levels even at high iso sensitivities.If your not ready to convert this camera would be the perfect bridge,solidly constructed with built in image stabilization for shooting long zoom shots and an array of settings that cover most any situation you will encounter.I highly endorse this product I think you will be delighted with it's performance and amazed at it's versatility.

THis replaces a Sony that my wife really didn't like and ended up losing. I compared this with a Nikon and another Sony and it seemed to have the best balance between features and cost and I wasn't disappointed. Picture quality is flawless, digital 'face finding' focusing is pretty cool.
Battery life seems good and the fact that it takes AA batteries is actually a good alternative to the Sony which has a proprietary battery pack.
The slightly larger than minimal form factor is actually a help in providing a solid grip on the camera while still allowing portability.

Like the camera, hate the manual. I think someone who knew the camera far too well wrote the manual, and assumed that everyone reading it was a pro photographer, rather than someone who just wanted to move up to a camera with a little more capabilities from the simple point and shoot they owned and was used to. I am learning more about the camera from website reviews of it than I could from the manual.
As soon as I got it, Kodak came out with their new one with 24x zoom. I wish I could have compared it to the Canon since I had a Kodak before and loved it.
So far, I am getting very good pictures with the new Canon, and I love the zoom and stabilization. My old camera was only 4mp, so with 10 I am able to crop pictures much more with good results. Great video, but such high resolution that only very short clips are emailable.

Pros:
The A590IS is the best point and shoot under $200 today (closer to $155 most places). I own an SD600 and my wife, friend, and father (all different people mind you!) own A570IS's. The A590IS is the new version of the A570IS, 2007's best selling camera. Generally, see the rave reviews of the A570IS if you want to know the major pros and cons (in summary: Image Stabilization is amazing, noise is limited, features of all there including manual controls [though no auto-bracketing which no other cameras at this price point have regardless], final picture quality is superior to all other brands at this price point and type, [i.e., point-and-shoot], good size). Rather, here I'll address the main improvements over the A570IS (which is about $30 cheaper):
(1) The A590IS has 8mp vs. 7mp on the A570IS (negligible difference)
(2) The A590IS is slightly faster between non-flash shots BUT slightly SLOWER before the first shot can be taken and slower between shots where flash is used (less than .5 second difference according to CNet)
(3) It's charcoal/gray - minor change from silver, but I like it a lot.
(4) It's "rounder" on the edges but no less stable in your hand, neither camera is too slippery like other overly polished cameras (also, no finger smudges as a result).
(5) There is sometimes increased noise with higher MP cameras, this is NOT the case here - noise levels are similar.
(6) there are some minor additional shooting modes and improvements to other shooting
Cons:
The only change that is not an improvement is the lowering of the frames per second in the video mode.
A570IS: 640x480 = 30fps --- 320x240 = 60fps
A590IS: 640x480 = 20fps --- 320x240 = 30fps
Frankly, this is a bummer and cannon should correct it with firmware ASAP; however, the lower FPS is still quiet good, but this was a pointless change that is not appreciated -- the reality is that most people don't use video often and those who do will see a minimal difference ... if you're paying that much attention to the video you may be more interested in a different camera or a video camera.
Conclusion:
This will be the best selling camera of 2008 and it's a VERY safe purchase you won't regret (unless it gives you such a new found love for photography that suddenly you wish you had a Canon S5 or G7 ... which are more than twice as expensive!).

I had already ordered a camera for my kids to take pictures for about $34 less than this one. However, I decided to explore a bit more on what was out there, since my first choice was based on my budgeted price. I read the reviews about the camera and immediately cancelled my order and ordered this camera. I was not sure about the size of the camera because when we go to parties, I do not want to be invenience with a bulky camera. The reviews however were stronger than my bulky problem. To my amazement, I do not have a bulky problem, the camera is small, compact, light, it takes amazing pictures. I love the face view finder feature, I do remember reading about it on the description, but I was hoping this camera had that feature, and I did get it. By the time I came home, my 12 year old already had inserted a 4gb memory card (purchased seperate) and created a movie dancing with this friends, the picture was amazing. I love my camera, I love the quality of the picture, the quality of the video, thinking of give it to my niece for the 16th birthday. Oh, the battery is lasting for a long time, I am still waiting to change the battery and a replace has not been necessary. On my old digital camera, we had to, had to replace the batteries every 20 pictures or so. thumps up to Canon for producing a great product for someone on a budget and thumps up to Amazon.com, received my camera one day head of delivery schedule, Great job

After suffering with a Sony CyberShot and a short-lived Olympus, I read an enormous number of owner reviews of cameras before selecting this one. The pictures are superior, particularly in low light and taken by someone who relies on a good point-and-shoot camera. I must say that the battery life is just ridiculously short. Using freshly purchased (and I checked - no where near expiring) batteries, and trying two different brands (separately, not mixed), I find that the batteries last for maybe 30 shots before I start getting the flashing icon warning me that they are about to die. I put in fresh batteries as I arrived at my child's school function, and the warning light was flashing within two hours. Note the camera was not on for two hours. This is nuts! I love everything else about the camera, but can't imagine walking around with a backpack full of batteries to get through a five day vacation.

Canon PowerShot TX1 7.1MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
I was in the market for a new camera & a new camcorder, to replace my 3.0 MP Olympus & my JVC DV camcorder. In my research , I came across the Canon TX1 . For me, it is the perfect solution. I am by no means an expert photographer- just a guy who wants to be able to take some nice pictures & video of the family. We are going to be taking a big Mediterranean cruise this summer and want to be able to bring back some nice photos & video. Here are the things I was looking for:
1. Compact. This camera is a little larger than some , but still small enough to fit in my pocket without a problem
2. Good video capabilty. This can record Hi-Def video at 30 fps. The video looks great on my Sony LCD TV.
3.Plenty of storage capability. I also purchased through Amazon a Transcend 8GB,class 6 SDHC card for about $35. This allows plenty of room & works great!
4. A good zoom. This camera is the only one of its size with a 10x optical zoom.
I've also found that the Canon face recognition software works well. The red-eye reduction also works pretty well, although I've had a couple photos it didn't clear up.The video looks much better than my old camcorder. I immediately took it to my daughter's water polo game, at an indoor pool with somewhat dim lighting. I was afraid the video wouldn't come out well in that lighting, but it worked wondefully - very good color & balance. The LCD screen is a bit small , but necessarily so to keep the unit compact. The LCD is quite crisp though- much brighter than most. I would say that a person looking for a digital camera that is extremely portable and easy to use, and also needs a camcorder would be well served to purchase one of these. I also got a great price from Worldwide Distributors on Amazon ( about $335). You can also get a Pelican 1010 micro-case which fits this camera nicely for about $13, and a spare Lenmar battery (DLC4L) for about $11 through Amazon. I'm extremely pleased with all the purchases and would highly recommend the TX1 for the family on the go that wants nice pictures & video without lugging a bunch of cumbersome equipment- stick it in your pocket or purse & Go!!!

I bought this camera as a gift for my girlfriend because it satisfied my two main requirements: 1) it could be operated by someone who is not interested in learning the basics of camera design and features, and still produce reliable, quality photographs and 2) be capable of doing much more if one should so desire.
Apparently, the model one step down (the 580, I believe) is void of manual override controls, so for a small amount more one can get that capability in the 590. After using the camera for a few weeks I have determined that it actually does produce very sharp, nicely color toned pictures if you simply put it on AUTO or P, point, remember to hold the shutter half way down for a second to focus, and shoot. Perhaps learning when to force the flash to provide fill would be a handy, not too complicated step to learn, one which would greatly improve most backlit shots. I'm still trying to teach that :-) (it's only one button, hey!!)but I think I will eventually succeed. All in all, you can carry it anywhere and use it quickly and easily and without any real knowledge or skill manage to eke out a decent (if not really lovely) exposure.
If you understand something about how modern cameras are programmed, the manual controllability of this little demon will delight you. In bright light situations, it's a good thing to be able to use the traditional viewfinder which is not always provided these days in many other point and shoots. And if you wanted a quality shot, understanding how to use the many features intelligently, I think you will be amazed that the file produces such a high quality photograph. Five years ago it would have cost many hundreds more to achieve this quality, and now it's available for a pittance. Progress.
I haven't delved into the technical aspects of this camera here because I am assuming that most people who are looking for this kind of one would not be that interested. Suffice to say, this little camera does lots of stuff and it does it all with ease and grace and for a low price. Sounded good to me, and I'm glad I bought it. You could do different for the price, but not, I don't think, better. Highly recommended.

I had PowerShot A80 for a long time (5+ years) and I considered bying another only after the shutter of that camera actually stopped working. I still haven't repaired it although I will most certainly do that.
So, as a replacement I searched and bought little pricier model - Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP - http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Powershot-SX10IS-Digital-Stabilized/dp/B001G5ZTZO.
However, I also bought for my friends and relatives (as present) this particular model and tested it myself - A590IS. This model is - at least by the manufacturing quality has less quality than A80 - it is 100% plastic and looks and feel pretty cheap. But do not the first impression lead you to wrong conclusion - the A80 cost was about 600 euros in 2003, and this camera together with 8 GB card costs less than 100 euros. It draws very little energy, pictures are excellent for this price range and it is small and very compact - refined version for literally everyday usage.
I like this little bugger - strongly recommended for everyday use, unlike the SX10IS which is the best camera I have ever had but is definitely not for everyday use - it is much too bulky and complex.

This camera was so inconsistent. Sometimes it would take good pictures, other times, photos were blurry. The flash, as another reviewer pointed out, is way too bright and washes out photos. I always had to turn it off. I say "had," as now the LCD monitor has gone kerfluey, and it will cost half the price of the camera to fix it. Suffice it to say I will not be buying another Canon camera!

I've been using the PowerShot A710IS for more than a year now and come to love this package for the workhorse service it has unfailingly provided. When I read about the SX10IS, I jumped at the chance to upgrade at an incredibly affordable price. I didn't look around too much -- I'm brand faithful and would go Canon anytime.
There are so many detailed reviews here that I would never hope to match them. As an "avid amateur" though, and after using the camera for about three weeks, I have only praise for it.
I've shot hundreds of pictures, indoors and outdoors. I experimented with shooting video. The results were always more than five-star in my book. The camera feels "positive" and "points naturally." Yes, it is on the heavier side, but the strap does a good job of helping you carry it with no problems. Minor complaints are the absence of thread to allow using filters and the annoying little plasticky cover of the USB hookup. However, the filter problem should be solved soon: check out this site [...] And don't underestimate the GREAT practicality of the SX10IS running on 4 AA batteries -- no proprietary rechargeable, AC adapters, and all such to lug around. Just buy batteries at the drugstore or, better, get a couple of sets of AA rechargeables with your own little charger and you're on, no sweat and tears.
This is a super package at an unbeatable price. And it carries Canon quality. Statistically, you can't go wrong.

I bought this camera for my daughter's sixteenth birthday. She loves it! The picture and video quality is great. I wanted the camera to be small enough to carry in a purse, but not so small that your hand engulfs the camera when you take a picture. This camera is the perfect size. There are lots of scene options to play with and lots of great features to help you get the best pictures possible. We added a 4 GB memory card and two rechargeable batteries. Now I want to buy this camera for myself!

Slightly disappointed after reading reviews. Not as easy to operate as my previous camera the IXUS 800 (6 mega pixel) which was better designed.
Function set button and wheel around it particularly hard to operate (Have to use my fingernail)
Video playback on computer jerky {maybe fault of computer not camera) but OK on TV.
Picture quality excellent.0CommentWas this review helpful to you?YesNoReport abusePlease write at least one wordYou must purchase at least one item from Amazon to post a commentA problem occurred while submitting your comment.

The Zoom Browser EX 6.1 software that comes with the camera for viewing pictures did not work. After many tries, it continued to show an error. I called Canon and spoke with what sounded like a very knowledgeable technician, but he was stumped and had no answer for me. I have a two year old Canon Power Shot A610 and even tried to use its software with the A1000 IS camera. It wouldn't work either. I have figured out a workaround, but it's a hassle. Think twice before purchasing!
UPDATE on April 5, 2013: After 3 years, last summer all of a sudden this camera's lens froze in the open, extended position and would no longer retract. The camera was now unusable.

I got this camera after returning a less than stellar Nikon L100 and it has not disappointed me yet. Working right out of the box with very minimal reading of the manual, great pictures of my pets and kids in action, lots of scene modes to chose from. My only complaint, as mentioned in other reviews is the scroll wheel is VERY sensitive and often bypasses the mode I am trying to get into. I can forgive that with the overall quality of the camera.
If you are on the fence about this camera, it is great. A little large, but I do not mind that.

This Canon SX110IS is as great as all the other reviewers say it is so I won't bore you by repeating all it's great features. I will only bring up a couple of minor things about this camera.
Wish List....
1. The SD card slot was not in the battery compartment.
2. It would be nice to able to "dedicate" the print button (top left on back of camera) to video start and video stop like the Canon ELPH SD1000 is able to do. Turning the top control wheel to video is inconvenient when you want to start filming instantly.
3. Although I don't dislike having AA batteries powering the camera, I would like a solid long lasting rechargeable battery like my SD1000 has. I am suspicious of this 400 shot capability with 2 AA's.
4. One troublesome feature is how easy it is to change the quality of the video with the control wheel on the rear of the camera. A little movement of this wheel changes the video quality and you won't know it until its too late. Changing video quality should have been a drill down menu option instead of a control wheel function.
The above are minor items and in no way take away the quality this camera has. This camera has nice to have features and not a bunch of silly never used features. I love the automatic lens cap, ability to review shots without turning on the whole camera. I love the solid feel and look of this camera, it's well built and small enough to carry around in your pocket or purse. The pictures it takes are Canon quality pictures and to me that means first rate just like my Canon Rebel XT. I've tried other cameras and they are good but to me Canon is the best.

A little movement of this wheel changes the video quality and you won't know it until its too late. Changing video quality should have been a drill down menu option instead of a control wheel function.
The above are minor items and in no way take away the quality this camera has. This camera has nice to have features and not a bunch of silly never used features. I love the automatic lens cap, ability to review shots without turning on the whole camera. I love the solid feel and look of this camera, it's well built and small enough to carry around in your pocket or purse. The pictures it takes are Canon quality pictures and to me that means first rate just like my Canon Rebel XT. I've tried other cameras and they are good but to me Canon is the best.

I bought this camera in May 2009 for a trip my husband and I took to Alaska. It is a fantastic little camera and we are very happy with it. Cannon cameras are generally rated as a top choice for consumer reports and I just saw that a recent Consumer Reports magazine had this camera featured on the front. This camera is user-friendly, takes crisp pictures, uses only two AA batteries (which lasted us about 150-200 pictures), is light, takes pictures faster and is ready to take the next picture faster than our previous five-year old Powershot model. The only downsides are the fact that it only comes with a memory card that holds NINE pictures total. That's a little ridiculous. Plan on spending an extra $20 for a 4 GB memory card. It's still a great deal for what you get with this camera when you compare price to quality and I would buy it again and recommend it to others!

I had a Kodak Easy Share and wanted an upgrade to get closer shots. I am no pro, but love to take pictures, I have 4 boys. I have had great luck with this, zooms good and when you push the botton, it takes the picture, no delay. The zoom, is good. I'm sure there are bertter cameras out there, but if you want a great camera at a great price, this is it. The only downfall, which could be a perk, is that it uses 2 AA batteries. They seem to need to be replaced often. I wish they were rechargable. I go through alot of batteries, but at least they are easy to get if they run out.

I bought this camera about a month ago and love it. I wanted one to keep in my purse because my Sony was too large. I love it. It's a little heavy for a purse, but I carry it anyway. I just developed some digital photos and they were so much clearer than my older Sony camera makes.
I love the large screen. It's easy to use and easy to view the pictures you've taken.
I'm not sure I like having the double A batteries, because they seem to go out pretty quickly the way I use the camera, so i don't like throwing away so many but I'm going to try some rechargeable batteries in it to see how that does.
I'd recommend this camera!

After a lot of research on the internet, I found this little Gem. This camera is fantastic value for it's incredible performance. The picture quality is superb and in my opinion this camera is as good as a professional photographer's camera. The different functions this camera has is unbelievable and very easy to use. My wife was so happy when I gave her this camera for her Birthday, it was also delivered very quickly and well in time for her big day. The battery life after a 2 Hour charge is not disssapointing either, many thanks and well done.

One month out of warranty and "Memory Card Error" appeared on screen. Estimated repair by Canon is $99.00. I would not recomend this camera. Buy something cheaper and throw away when it fails.

It is awesome!!! All I can say is zoom zoom baby. You can get any picture anywhere no matter how far. It is amazing. The zoom works really well and with the stability thing I think the pictures come out great for its class. This is no DSLR don't think it is. But for its class this is worth it.
You also can get amazing close up group shots with the 28mm wide angle built in. All I can say is I will never ever buy a camera without that wide angle again. It is perfect.
It is a bit bulky but worth it for the crispy zoomed pictures you get. And you get use to the bulk and the grip and I have small hands so no problem. It is probably bigger than you are use to, this is not ELPH. But with the 20x...
It runs on double AA's but if you get some nice rechargeable they should last you long while. I was on a recent trip in Peru and used some sanyo batteries and they lasted for 3 days of continuous picture taking.
the one annoying thing is no lens cap tether! but you can buy one for a buck and do that yourself.
one of the best things is the flip out LCD it helps you take really hard to angle shots.
I found the wheel a little annoying and I had to use the book a lot when I was trying to figure other controls in the beginning, but if you want to just up and go with the camera you use the auto functions and get great pictures.
So picture takers who want ZOOM take this camera and go!!!!!

For the price, this one is a steal. The manual settings give you a lot of control while the image stabilization works perfectly to give you great shots.
This is a great camera for a budding photographer to test his skills before jumping on to a SLR. After one gets a good grasp of the controls, the photos come out stunning.
One problem is that the time between shots is a bit high, and I have missed out some great moments because of this. Also the compartment for the battery and the SD card could have been improved upon
