This is a great little camera. Bought it for a trip to New York, didn't want to take bulky SLR. Fits in pocket just right and has a really good resolution.
Zoom okay, though it IS only 3.7 which isn't much. But what do you expect from an compact!? The macro on the other hand is very good. Took some excellent images of butterflies in the Natural History museum without flash.
Quite cheap for what you get as new models are being released. You will need a seperate SD card as the 32Meg one which comes with it takes about four images on hi res.
It's got quite a few features and you can get good results. It's even got some smart face recognition software if you're out partying and want to take some pictures for facebook.
The lag time between pressing button and taking image is minimal as it's got a decent processor in it like all new Canon compacts. Tons of other features too which I've used and they're pretty good. You won't get the full diversity of an SLR, but you will be spoilt for choice.
Highly recommend this if travelling or going out and want to take some quick snaps.

I looked for a new digital camera for quite awhile. Finally decided on either a Cannon, Nikon, or Sony. Amazon had this camera on a particularly good sale at just under $100.00. I jumped at it. The two models I had been looking at in the Cannon line was this Powershot A590 IS and the 110SX. The price convinced me this was the one for me and I'm very glad I did. I've not had the time necessary to use all of it's features but the ones I have are very,very good. In AUTO mode it'l do most everything the average picture taker needs done and does it well. I'm not anywhere close to a professional photographer, at one time I did have a small business taking photos, using hand models, and made quite a name for myself, but, that was in the years of 35mm and the myriad equiptment list. I've dropped the camera bug for the motorsports bug that I made a bit of money photographing, and love the way this camera responds to all the shooting situations I come into now. I can even use it at speed on the track, without anybody else near anyway. It is that easy to use. I'm impressed with the results I've gotten so far and will continue to delve into the features of this very good, small, lightweight, point-and-shoot. The results are far better than most other point-and-shoot's that I've seen in this same megapixel range. I understand it's the size of the sensor, and not just how many pixels it senses, and the sensor in this camera is bigger than most others. I LIKE IT !

I bought this A590IS after I returned the A1000IS (10 megapixel version), which had a terrible amount of noise. This A590 is 8MP, and has a little bit less noise than the A590IS. But it is still unacceptable for indoor shots, even at ISO 80. Most pictures look grainy.
I had chosen this camera because it is one of the few with a viewfinder, has AA battery support, and SDHC card support - I own many rechargeable AAs and SDHC cards that I use in my Pentax K200D DSLR, my primary camera. I was looking for a secondary lighter camera. The A590IS isn't it, unfortunately.
Much older cameras with fewer megapixels, like my Olympus C3030Z, or Nikon Coolpix L1, never had this kind of problem.
The A590IS is a prime example of Canon trying to pack too many megapixels into a tiny sensor.
The only reason I kept this camera is that I bought it with 2 printers that were free after rebate and worth $100 each. If it weren't for them, I would have returned this camera too.
I still do not know what else to buy as a replacement, since good P&S options with viewfinders seem to be very limited these days.

I have purchased three of these for camera challenged friends. It takes a great picture and it is one of the simplest cameras on the market to operate. If you want good, easy, cheap and reliable, this is for you. Add a 4 GB card and a set of Duracell Pre-charged batteries and this thing will just keep on keeping on. Not for your Pro photo person.

Everything you ever wanted in a small digital camera. No complaints whatsoever. I broke the lens (my fault, left it in my pocket and turned it on) and sent it to the manufacturer and they fixed it free... THANKS!

Update (08/12/2009) - This camera is still working! I have had an issue with transitioning between an point and shoot to this (portability). I just can't bring it everywhere as it is not pocket friendly. However, with that said, 9 months later, this camera is still taking phenomenal pictures!!!.. I could not recommend any better camera for those who like the convienence of a point and shoot.. while having the power, quality, and option of an SLR
I purchased this product to upgrade from a simple Point and Shoot. I read about the comparisons between this and another camera in the same range; however, if you are adjusting from a beginner point and shoot to not exactly a DSLR, this IS the camera for you.
I ordered this for Thanksgiving, and read a quick lesson in the book about how to get some of the features running. Not a single shot has disappointed me. Granted, I am not a professional camera person, nor do I intend on going into details about pixels.
All I wanted to know is: Does it produce good images? Answer: For Sure! Does it produce good PRINTED images? Answer: I printed 8x10, 5x7, and 4x6 and all of them come out excellent.
I have an niece that is only 18 months (just walking) and this camera took phenomenal pictures of her. I have had this camera a little over 2 weeks and it has yet to disappoint me. It is great to find a good camera and that has the LCD screen that rotates!
It comes Highly recommended

This camera takes exceptional pictures! Huge 3" viewing screen, and the zoom quality is absolutely amazing! Though you can set it on "auto" and take great pictures that way, it's manual settings allow you to adjust shutter speed, aperture, white balance, and much more to take those beautiful pictures that professional cameras take.
I've read reviews that said it eats batteries, but in my experience, that's only if you're constantly using the flash. If your setting are right, you don't need the flash on most the time, unless most of your shooting is done in low/dark light. Frankly, i rarely use the flash unless i'm in that kind of light setting and my pictures look better for it.
I would NOT recommend this camera for the first time, or casual picture-taker. This camera is best suited for someone who has a growing interest in taking better pictures because while you're learning to use the more advanced features (which takes time and practice) you can still take great shots in the "auto" setting.
THREE NEGATIVES:
1. It's somewhat heavy (which i don't mind but you might).
2. Also, when you DO use the flash, the viewing delay time is pretty significant. What I mean is as soon as you take a picture with the flash on you will have to wait atleast four seconds to take another picture.
3. There is no eye viewer (i'm sure that's not the correct term). What i mean is - you can only view your subject on the viewing screen, not by peeking through the eye hole that most cameras have.

I love this camera. The 1080p movies on this thing are amazing. I have been amazed by the quality of video I've been able to shoot. The camera is also great. I'm getting great daytime pictures no matter how much I push the zoom. Darker shots have been much more difficult. Without the flash, my results have been poor at any distance. The flash is very bright and the best range is about 6 - 10 feet.
This camera is pretty easy to cary around and uses AA batteries that you can purchase anywhere.

Can't really say enough about this little gizmo. All we wanted was a relatively nice point and shoot, but ended up with so much more! I upgraded to the Canon SX100IS from an old Olympus. I liked the Olympus, but love the Canon. I looked at the ELPH series for their compact size, but was disappointed with their meager zoom. I decided to forego the slim design for a better lens and have been impressed every step of the way!! I've mostly taken photos on the auto setting, but also messed with the speciality settings, i.e., night shot, beach, snow, etc. Taken numerous movies, inside and out. Everything has turned out way better than expected. Clear as a bell. I caught a photo of a coyote on the north coast bluffs of Santa Cruz at an estimated 50 yards with the 40X digital zoom and could not believe my eyes at the image quality. Definitely like the manual flash - wasn't sure if I would, but realized just how often I had to turn the flash on our old camera OFF to get a decent shot. The Image Stabilization system seems to work very well. The face recognition system is great too...easy to turn off if you don't want it. All settings and menus easy and user friendly even for a novice like myself. I really like the software that came along with it too - way better than iphoto. I have tried using some of the camera's SLR characteristics like manual focus and shutter speed and that's pretty easy too, though I'm sure someone with more experience could make better use of those features. Pretty durable...I dropped it and freaked out that it was ruined, but it didn't even get a scratch and works perfectly. Really like that it takes regular AA's - in a pinch, you can find batteries anywhere.
OK, so it can't be ALL positive, right? Well, if I must pick a few things I don't like, one would be the function selector wheel - it's sometimes hard to turn it without pushing it's buttons too, if that makes any sense. I've resolved that issue by just not using the wheel, but just using it as a button. The fact that it only has 2 AA batts is nice for weight, but not so nice for longevity. I did experience a couple of blurry action shots of people sledding down a hill, but most were fine...I think it was just user error. That's about it for negatives.
Overall, my experience with this camera has been beyond expectation. For portability, ease of use, number of features, quality of lens and images, it is just what I wanted. Happy birthday to me.

Bought this camera about a yr. ago. GREAT pictures HOWEVER, it has started to complain about low battery. It then shuts off. Repeatedly replaced batteries of proper type and camera still complains. Searching the internet reveals others having the same problem. Took problem to Canon customer service. They suggest sending the camera to a service center to be looked at. AND BTW they have no service bulletins on this problem (even tho you can find MANY similar problems on the internet). AND of course you will foot the bill for shipping and they probably will find something wrong of which you will pay that bill also.
Canon is not owing up to the fact that they have a problem here.
EDIT on 12/21/11 In addition, camera will not hold date & time. Yes, I replaced that battery twice and it still looses date & time.
I see current reviews complaining about the same battery problem so the problem has not been fixed. Need to buy a new camera but it wont be a canon.

Contrary to other reviews, you can put a 52mm UV or polarizer lightweight lens on the end of the zoom They fit, I have done this with mine.
t takes great pictures and I bought it as a upgrade to the Cannon S5 IS (that you have to use converter lenses to attain what this SX10 IS already has built into it). The only carry over that I can use from my Canon S5 IS, with the SX10 IS, is the Speedlite 430 flash for the external hot shoe. The manual and other reviews state that no lenses can be attached. They are wrong!!! I have numerous step up and step down rings from my other cameras and lo and behold, found that the end of the SX10 IS can take a 52mm ring or in other words a 52mm polarizer or uv lens etc. can be attached to it. This is true because I now can attach them to mine. Also, I do not like the lens cap that came with it., even though it can be attached to the strap. I had another cap from another camera that was a 52mm with a cord that was attached to it and I put this cap on my new camera instead. Just Google 52mm lens cap with a string and you can purchase one for under 4 dollars. I also use 8gb or larger SD cards and the new 2900 MIH rechargeable batteries (nothing lower than 2900) that last all day. This is the camera that I will be using for a long time. It has everything built into it with no need to carry additional heavy lenses. I highly endorse it. The flip out lcd is another plus.

I got this camera in May. But I notice there's fine line on battery compartment cover (door). I thought it was just line like paint line or line from factory... but it came more loose (look like crack become more more crack)until it chipped off.
I sent it for a repair, requested them just to replace the cover. But when I got an email from them, they asked me to pay 99 dollars for just that!?! With that amount I will be better off buy new camera. DUH!
I called them about my warranty, etc, they think I dropped camera but I didn't. I keep it in my camera bag and in my purse all the time. It's new, in great care. They tried to "get away with it" so I decline the repair but they tried to offer me 20 percent off but I refused, they offer more off until they offter 50 percent off... in my mind, I thought why trying to offer me that than do the honest answer... I did contact them before but they said none about flat rate. They said "Okay you have warranty then send it to us for repair."
I don't think it's fair to me. Just that dishonest trick they pulled on me. So be bewared of them.

I ordered this item to be used as our new company camera. It has only recently arrived so I have only used it on several occasions, however, I am already impressed. The camera is easy to use and takes great pictures. I especially love to 10X optical zoom. The only negative I see thus far is the battery life.

After being in the Sony camp with its DSC-F707 for almost seven years before it finally died, I was going to stick with the company, but when others came out with 20x zoom I gave in to diversity (since nature photography is a big thing for me the zoom is a godsend). I purchased a camera from another company only to send it back because it never seemed to focus when it said it was focused, so I wasn't sure what Canon could do in its place.
Boy am I glad I gave them a try. I have yet to find anything wrong other than no lens cap tether (but it clips onto the strap so I'm not crying or anything yet). Even at the far end of the zoom (yea, even in the digital zoom) the pictures are great. It's hard to keep a subject in frame in the high end of digital zoom unless you can keep the camera REALLY still- the image stabilization keeps adjusting for your slightest twitch, but that was expected. I stumbled on great subjects on my first trip out with it (heron chicks, kingfisher in midair) so that probably helped. I can even take better self-portraits since the rear screen revolves out and around so you can check your framing while being in front of the camera!
Something tells me I'll have this one for as long as it'll have me. Good job, Canon!

I am so pleased with this purchase. I originally wanted the nikon p80 when i first started looking at megazoom point and shoots and when I finally played around with it, it just seemed dinky and the pictures weren't great. I waited and came across the canon sx10 is, I am so glad I did some more research because it is a world of difference from the p80. I have taken a lot of pictures with this camera and the image quality may not be quite as sharp as a dSLR (just slightly lower) but the color is absolutely awesome. When I heard about the p90 (12.1mp 24x zoom) coming out I thought maybe it would have had the edge over the sx10, but after reading reviews comparing both of them, the sx10 still beats the p90 in image quality. I am thoroughly impressed with the canon sx10 is. I would highly recommend it. You cant beat a 560mm zoom lens for the price. If you are wavering between cameras, stop, this won't disappoint.

This is our second Canon Powershot. The SX1 IS was terrific and after 25,000 saved images, the focusing gears were literally griding. (The time spent taking photos in a desert sandstorm may have contributed!) The SX10 IS is terrific because--it has low shutter lag time, excellent face recognition focusing, is solidly built and fits the hand well, 20X zoom, very effective image stabilization that allows frequent use of the long zoom in surprisingly low light, has 10 megapixel resolution and uses normal AAA batteries, We always use rechargables and get several hundred photos (without flash usage) between recharging. The swivel screen is a major aid in taking closeups of flowers, insects and small children. With 7 grandchildren and living in the beautiful Northwest, it rarely cools off!

I have had the Canon Powershot A540 for about 2 years. I upgraded from a Nikon 3200 series. I am always on the lookout for things I can turn into a painting. This camera has served me well. I can take a picture through the front windshield while moving and get a great shot. I do however find that to view the pictures taken you have to move the mode switch down to do a review. If you forget to put it back in camera position nothing happens. I like the factor that it allows me so many different shooting modes. It has portrait, landscape (although I've never used it when filming landscape),night snapshots, kids & pets, indoor, foliage, snow, beach, fireworks and underwater. You can change the shooting mode using the button on top of the camera. Can't get any easier than that. Normally I've not had to change my setting to shoot a picture of an amazing color sky. It's response is quick, red eye is reduced but not totally eliminated as I have found out in some shots I've taken. It is lightweight and small enough that it fits in a small cosmetic case in my purse. Uses 2 AA batteries. I use the photo batteries and for me they last a long time. I've been amazed at how long they last. For me downloading is very convenient. I remove the SD memory card and put it in my computer. Then I can go in and crop, stitch, and do whatever I feel has to be done to make the picture better.
The zoom is great, brings what I want closer without losing any detail. In normal setting, I've taken indoor pictures of the grandchildren and my husband and they are perfect. Color is very good. The one thing I would really like to have on this camera is image stabilization.
Looking now to getting either the new Kodak Zi6 pocket camcorder or the RCA small wonder EZ201 so I can capture pix of my great grandchildren doing their thing.

I purchased this as a backup camera. Meaning a camera I can haul everywhere I go, mostly for cloud pictures, when I can't carry my Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS 6MP with 12x Image Stabilized Zoom around.
I picked this camera because it has a few features I hadn't found in other cheaper point and shoot cameras. In manual mode it has an infinity focus mode, which I haven't seen anywhere. This is excellent for cloud photos, as my other camera could almost never focus on them, but this camera lacks a manual focus, so I wasn't completely sure it would work. The Infinity Focus completely solved that problem.
It's other main selling point is an ability for "Super Macro", ie focusing on objects almost touching the lens. It is also found in Manual Mode. My S3 can do that, but I didn't think I would find a point and shoot with that capability. Especially since I've played with some of the more expensive Canon powershots and they DIDN'T have the capability. It makes up for the measly 3.4 optical zoom.
One feature I haven't played with yet is long shutter, also in the manual settings, reached by pressing menu in the Exposure area of the Manual settings. It looks like it can go up to 5 seconds or so. Another feature I didn't expect on a camera without Manual Aperture or Shutter Speed adjustments.
The lack of a viewfinder is a bit irritating, and noticeably a problem in direct sunlight, but the focus modes more than made up for it for me.
It does have a big lag for flash pics, even with NiMH batteries. You will HAVE to buy another memory card as at high quality it can take barely 10 pics on the included one.

One feature I haven't played with yet is long shutter, also in the manual settings, reached by pressing menu in the Exposure area of the Manual settings. It looks like it can go up to 5 seconds or so. Another feature I didn't expect on a camera without Manual Aperture or Shutter Speed adjustments.
The lack of a viewfinder is a bit irritating, and noticeably a problem in direct sunlight, but the focus modes more than made up for it for me.
It does have a big lag for flash pics, even with NiMH batteries. You will HAVE to buy another memory card as at high quality it can take barely 10 pics on the included one.

i'm no expert at photography but this camera is amazing! it takes pictures with incredible detail; has up to a 40x zoom (which i've already used a lot); it takes super nice video!!! i wasn't sure how i'd like that but now that i'm using it i'm hooked! if you have never used a camera like this......at first it may be a little intimidating but i came to grips with everything in about 3 days.(take lots of practice photos and familiarize yourself with all the features) i've found that the more i mess with the menus, the more things i find this camera can do!!! really, you can't go wrong with the sx110is. and also....do yourself a favor and get a canon printer.....they match up perfectly with the camera and prints great photos.

I had purchased an A580 a year ago and I was very pleased with the pictures. I was so pleased with the A580 I purchased two of the newer model the A590IS - one for my daughter and mother or Christmas. The pictures were great. My mom who had not used a digital camera before took great pictures Christmas day just using the Auto (point & shoot) setting. She was very pleased with the pictures. I would recommend purchasing the Canon Batteries, I purchased the Canon CBK4-300 battery kit. The batteries have a significantly better life than Energizer or Duracell rechargeable batteries. I would also recommend a high speed SDCard. My daughter also used the movie mode which worked well in available lighting. The camera flash doesn't have the option to turn it on during movies. So unless you purchase a video light you can only use the available light. I purchased the Sunpak UC-VL compact video light which works independently of the camera (must be turned ON and OFF manually) but this assists in taking movies in low light. Overall, I would highly recommend this camera. I have also purchased an S5-IS for my personal use and because of my satisfaction with this product I felt confident to purchase Canon products again.

This is a great camera. Has a 2.5" screen and it's quite bright. It has a zillion settings you can make, and all the bells and whistles the average user could ever expect from a less than $100. camera. I paid $91. free shipping. Ya can't beat Amazon for the great service and safe shopping .
For the photo nut who wants special effects, it'll take some doing: the F stop and the shutterspeed are automatic. It suits nme fine because I want to take pics, not spend all day fiddling with the cameras options. It does take great pics, no question! I'm quite pleased with it!!!
If I had to make a less than positive comment, it's that the 186 page manual is in PDF format; that means iit is in the Canon disk, not a printed manual! It's a bugger to print if you're not good at printing such PDF documents using both sides of the paper. On the computer screen, the manual is quite big and bright. Also if your sharp with computers, you can download the manual to your memory card and read the manual from the camera screen, while you're away from home and your PC!. All in all, it's not a camera for the very very photographically involved; but, rather, if you take lots and lots of pics of home, family, vacations, etc, you'll love the A470 Canon Powershot

For the price I thought this was a fantastic camera. I bought it my wife for her birthday to replace a kodak camera she had broken. The cost was about the same but the camera I pesonally think is much better. As far as the picture quality goes there isn't anything to choose but the little touches you get from the canon are fantastic. The colour accent itself is worth the money, it can give you some amazing pictures.

Canon's SX10IS is great! Here are the things I like the most from this SX10 IS:
Pros:
1. 20X optical super-zoom with IS and USM: its focal length (5-100mm) covers most of the ranges practically needed; IS & USM are definitely positive additions;
2. Lots of manual options available. If you really like digital photography, then you know what I mean. Like the AEB feature, allows you to compose your own HDR photo, etc.
3. Design (including its weight): The design is just right, not too high profile, not too humble. Hear some complaints about the weight, but for me that is part of "quality". It is still much lighter and portable than a SLR, isn't it.
4. More...
Coms:
Only some small things I dislike: lens cap --- they should use a small string hooking up with the body; Neck string: don't use it. Material of the string is kind of rough, it will bother you big time while hold the camera.
Overall, if you have limited budget and still want a decent (not just an entry level), rich featured with more manual options digital camera, go for SX10 IS!
