This camera took one of the best pics which is also one of the best bang for the buck BUT the craftsmanship is next to nothing. bought it just 2 days and have to return it cuz it some function doesn't work, next, the inspector at returning center got the machine not working in front of his face. I must admit this cam take really clear/crisp pics. I had done my research for 4 months before buying this thing so I KNOW WHAT I"M DOING, that's because I like the AA battery functionality it has, but later proved me wrong since it cost 2 batteries for every 200 pics you take. I wouldn't recommend anyone this camera. LOok for lithium or any other longer-life batteries.

I was looking for a solid, dependable point & shoot upgrade from my previous 8 MP digital camera, which blurred my shots too often. I need a camera that is easy to use, and takes good photos suitable for printing, thus the 8 MP minimum requirement. The A590IS turned out to be my choice for several reasons. The Canon reputation, Price, and available add-ons. This camera is selling for $185.00 at our local WalMart in Erie, Pennsylvania. One thing to note is the two Opteka lens made for this model, and sold here at Amazon.con. One Telephoto, and the other a wide angle lens. So if I decide one day to become more involved with photography, I can make some very inexpensive upgrades to this camera. Did I mention this camera has an "EASY" setting ? Yes ! When I don't have the time to show friends or family, that wants to use it, the features of this camera, I just set it to "easy" and hand it to them. The anti shake, image stabilization works great too. There are so many features on this camera, I'm still amazed at the price, and it's been lowered even more since my purchase in October 08. It fits my hands nicely, as it's not too small, but much smaller than a digital SLR. I also bought the PSC-85 Deluxe Case and its perfect match for this model even though the case is not advertised to fit this model. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a great point & shoot, at a great price.

My old A series powershot died after 3 years so I decided to get a more powerful camera with better optical zoom than the 3x I had previously. I love this camera for the price. The cameras need to fit the purpose and mine was to have a powerful zoom without losing the ability for video which is why I did not upgrade to a SLR type. I mainly take pictures of my kids. I like the shot to shot speed of this camera and I can get the kids in action while having great clarity, focus and no jitter. I especially like the fact it uses plain AA batteries. I wish the lens cap would attach to the camera but that's a small con to the many pros. I didn't read any instructions and was able to figure out where and how to operate the main functions of picture review, delete, video settings/volume, flash, and ISO within 15 minutes of turning on the camera. The pictures and video is great to view on a computer or tv. I do like the flip out screen because my old one had scratches from being exposed where this screen is protected by closing inward. Modifying zoom while taking video is also a nice feature to have. I am very pleased with this camera and purchase...now I have to find a case.

We bought this camera for my 10 year old son for his birthday. He wanted a "real" camera that he could use. This camera takes great pictures and video. It is easy to use and isn't too complicated like other cameras with several scene shots available. The only issue I have is my son tends to walk around taking video and when he does it drains the battery quickly. I know more my problem than the camera. When the batteries aren't fully charged and you turn the camera on the digital display is blank. I thought it was a problem with the camera but having had this happen several times and replacing the battery I figured it out. He did drop the camera on our wood floors from about 3 1/2 feet and the camera is fine. Being 10 he isn't the most gentle either and the camera seems to be holding up just fine.

Here are my first impressions on SX110 IS:
- Auto mode photos are decent; nothing short of or better than other point and shoots.
- The zoom clearly works. I've always had cams with less than 4x optical zoom before, so this one does show the stark difference. I have been able to click good photos of mountains that are anywhere between 10-30 miles from the point of clicking, while zooming on objects close by shows amazing details of the objects which I have not been able to capture with other lower optical zoom cams.
- Focusing is good. With my previous cameras, I've had a 30% rate of good photos vs. bad ones. With this one I think the number must be above 75%.
- Other shooting modes are excellent. For example, none of the photos I've taken in sepia mode are below average. Surprisingly though the camera lacks the color accent and color swap modes seen on other Powershots.
- Battery life is average. But with spare rechargeable batteries (i.e. a total of 2+2=4), clicking up to 300 photos should be possible.
- Flash is where the only problem I've found yet it. It feels very slow to recharge, and thus taking multiple pics in succession in a short time is difficult.
I'm yet to explore more, and maybe I'll update this once I have done so.

I think overall I would recommend this camera to people.
My review is based on comparison to the CANON S2 IS;
Pros:
Good night images.
Image stabilization is good.
Flash is very good.
Zoom amazing.
Moving object photography is good.
Overall image quality is good.
Cons.
Bulky.
The camera lens cap is not attached...very bad. Therefore can get lost easily.

Easy to use, takes decent pictures. What more are you expecting in a point & shoot? The LCD screen is great, and I like the fact that it has a viewfinder. Too many P & S cameras don't. Viewfinders are great for saving batteries, work better in bright sunlight, and you can actually hold the camera a lot more still than when you're using the usual digicam stance.
Seems to be pretty rugged. My son dropped it when he was getting into the minivan, from a height of about 3ft onto asphalt, got a little scratch on the case, but otherwise works fine.
The biggest complaint I have is that the flash recharge seems really slow.

I purchased this camera as an upgrade from what I call my purse camera. I like to carry a camera absolutely everywhere I go. In the past I've always carried point and shoots but had decided I would prefer a camera that had the ability to go manual. Plus the rotating LCD was such a plus when it came to this department.
When I first purchased the camera I was absolutely ecstatic. I'd heard such raved reviews about the A610 which had recently retired from retail shelves. I got it home and discovered that well, maybe I wasn't so hot a photographer after all. I avoided it for about 6 months before it made itself into the purse after all.
I had the same problem everyone else seemed to have with taking photos indoors. It didn't compare to my 3.2MP HP Photosmart 735. I didn't expect the world but comparable indoor shots to an outdated point and shoot were kind of on my list of great expectations. I actually found out I can shoot video in a scene I can't take a photo in and the video look perfectly fine. It's a better camcorder than a camera sometimes, if it wasn't for the pesky memory limit. And the software freezes upon completion of upload every time.
With the help of imaging software I have come to actually love this camera. I don't mind airbrushing or touching up the color and light settings later on...that's what I do for a living and what I love. It's a workable lighter camera for the professional but I would not advise it for the everyday consumer.
Somewhere in the past month the camera has become severely damaged physically. It went on this crazy trip through the City Museum in Saint Louis (think giant metal playground) and I don't know exactly what happens but on my way home I realized that it was dented badly. I can only imagine what kind of a blow it took. It still works just the same however and functionally I never would have noticed. All of the pictures survived the ordeal.
I am hoping to upgrade in the near future, being that mine now looks like a car wreck, and of course technology progresses. I will still probably look to Canon. This hasn't turned me completely off. Everything has to have it's downers and it's just unfortunate this one has such a huge curve to overcome. I've taken roughly 5,500 images/video with this camera and don't plan on completely setting it out to pasture in it's older age. I'm sure it will accompany me to more "dangerous" places to keep the new guy safe at home.

I have owned several small digital cameras, up until now most of them sony. The Canon IXUS 85 IS is simply the best digital camera i have ever owned. Quality pictures, very user-friendly and an array of fab settings; overall brilliant! I would recommend this camera to anyone; from children to experienced photographers. Canon rules ok :)

I bought this camera to take with me when my DLSR or my super zoom is just too heavy or too bulky to take along. The old saying is that the best camera for the job, is the camera you have!! I did not wish to spend a lot of money but wanted to still have image stablization, control over exposure and aperture, and decent image quality, all while using SD memory cards since I have many. This camera is a reasonable compromise. The images are acceptably crisp and can be made even sharper in post processing, the manual controls work great, and the size certainly allows me to put it into my pocket. If you are looking for a snapshot camera the Canon A590 can certainly produce the goods. I haven't found the slow recycle time of the flash to be a problem and and the rechargeable NiMH batteries I'm using are still going strong after a couple of hundred pictures with about a third being taken with flash. You can adjust the vividness of the color along with the sharpness and the contrast to taste. The exposures seem accurate and exposure conpensation can be used to help with "blown" skies, a problem with many digital cameras, it seems.
Having the memory card located with the batteries certainly saves in manufacturing cost (only a single door) but when I remove the card, sometimes the batteries also fall out, but this isn't really a serious issue - I just have to be careful.
I do wish that this camera had a wider angle lens (maybe 24 mm equivalent in 35 mm camera terms) since there are times I want effects that these wide angle lenses produce. Of course I knew that the camera did not do this when I bought it and many casual users would probably not miss this feature unless they previously had a camera that a lens of this type.
In summary, given this camera's price point, it's an excellent value.

I have a simple Cannon point and shoot which I love but I was searching for something beyond that. I found this Digital SLR and once I received it, I knew I made the right choice. It has all the niceties of point and shoot with the added bonus of facial recognition, image stabilization, serious zoom in capabilities and a rotating review screen. Basically, it's perfect for the weekend photographer or someone who's just getting into photography. The picture quality is crisp and sharp with easy to use features. I didn't even read the owners manual and I had no problems getting everything set up.

I have been using this for about two weeks. The less than stellar thoughts are around the wait time from flash pic to flash pic. It is no less than a 7 sec wait. this is 2-3 sec longer than the typical compact Powershot smaller cameras SD1100, SD590, etc.
Everything else is all upside. I used it the other day at my daughters soccer game. I sat mid field and took clear close up pics of her in net. Obviously not a regulation size field. 6 yr olds size field.
The movies have been hit or miss on clarity. It is probably a user error as we are still getting to know the camera.
While it is bigger than our previous Canon SD590 it isn't too big. It fit in the pocket of my shorts. I look forward to understanding the manual controls. Also, the playback features are much improved over our previous Canon.
No plans to use the SW as we use Picasa.

After reading other reviews for tis and other cameras, I purchased this over a month ago. I have taken it on trips to Vermont and the coast of Maine and found it to be excellent for scenery. The zoom is great for birds which is one of the reasons I bought it. I am still learning the camera. The auto setting is about all I have used so far. I look forward to taking it to Florida in the fall to photograph the flora and wildlife!
It ia a bit complicated to use but doable.

This is a great purchase. You definitely need to purchase a photo card with more space. I also kept extra AA batteries with me in case, but used the camera for a 2 wk trip & never needed to replace them. The only other thing I would recommend is to find a screen protector, even in the case, mine is now a bit scratched. But I love the large screen, the video footage with sound, the zoom & everything else about this camera. It's also compact so it's easy to carry in your purse or small space. And Amazon shipped it to Hawaii in just a few days.

Had to replace my lost Casio Exilim, which I was very happy with. This one seems to be just as good and easy to use. It has a good sized screen and, most important to me, a view finder. In bright light, e.g. when out skiing, you can't see the screen to take pictures with. I also bought the case that is made for it, and I would not recommend it. It is supposedly made of leather but feels like plastic, and the wrist strap needs to be fed through a hole at the top of the case, which makes it difficult to take a picture. Get an Antler soft leather case from PC World or similar shops - much better all round

A well featured camera with a nice solid feel to it. The zoom is very good (10x normal up to an amazing 40x digital) although it is difficult to hold steady at the higher setting despite having the Image Stability feature, the use of a tripod, or standing the camera on a steady surface, helps greatly.
I managed to get some very clear / sharp images by using the different settings provided, (David Bailey I aint), and downloading the images to a PC couldn't be simpler, you just plug the supplied USB cable into the camera and the computer, and, with the computer running, turn on the camera and all the pictures on the camera that have not you been saved are downloaded for you.
Altogether a very good package for the price

I bought this camera because of the 10x Optical Zoom - there is obviously a great difference to the 3x optical zoom I've been used to - I did however drop from 12mp to the 9mp for this privelage - not noticeable for me but my hard drive is grateful.
Picture quality is very good as expected from Canon the camera is very light and comfortable for general use - the body has a slight plastic feel the weight is all in the lens.
The Canon Powershot is great value general snapshot camera with a very impressive zoom-even with the digital zoom on top (15x), pictures were very clear - no camera shake.

I have been very happy with the PowerShot SX100 IS so far. The camera body feels solid. Controls are fairly intuitive so you can be up and snapping pics in minutes after a quick glance at the manual.
The thing I love most is the zoom. My previous camera only had a 4x zoom so the SX100 gives me 2.5 times that. While the image stabilizing helps, if your going to take several pictures at full zoom, you might want to have a tripod or some other stable surface for the camera to rest on. I was difficult to get a great hand-held clear shot at full zoom.
I have been very happy with the 8MP imaging as well. While it would be nice to have an optical viewfinder, the LCD screen is large and crisp and makes looking at your recent shots a lot of fun! I haven't checked it out with the sun to my back yet so I can't comment on how the LCD looks in bright light.
Like most modern compact cameras, the SX100's Achille's heel is the recharge time before you can snap another flash picture, though it really hasn't been a problem so far.
Over all I am very pleased with the performance of the camera and would definitely recommend it!

I bought this camera about 15 days back. I have used it a couple of times indoors, outdoors and indoors with low-light conditions.
Used correctly, this camera does a great job of taking good quality images. I had to play with the camera for about 15-20 mins to get familiar with it so I could take the best pictures possible. My sister owned a Powershot A530 before this one and i had the same experience with that too.
This camera fits nicely in your jeans pocket and is quite light.
You will need a tripod to take good low-light shots. I have a cat and a rabbit and a 3 yr old nephew - The kids and pets setting really works well to take pictures of them. Generally the few manual settings it does have are good enough for a serious amateur photographer.
One gripe I do have is that with regular AA alkaline batteries the flash recycle time can go up to 8 seconds and the camera is blank and unusable during this time. This of course is a problem with most canon Powershots. The solution I have found is to use batteries made specifically for taking pictures (Duracell makes some) or just use rechargeable NiMH batteries. This works great. Almost down to 1 sec between shots with that.
Overall I'd definitely recommend this camera to anyone. But you have to be a little patient and get used to it first - I think this is true for any good camera out there though.

Bought this camera on behalf of my mum who'd been very disappointed with a similar styled Sony that didn't last two years without breaking.
Having recently lost faith in Sony compacts I thought it was time to give Canon a go. I have always been a fan of Canon - I have a collection of old SLR's and film compacts - and have one of their DSLRs for more professional shots.
Neither myself or my mum have been disappointed with this camera, it has a sturdy build with a quality feel to the finish, good clear screen, beautiful true colours.
I don't know why I ever bought Sonys, I won't be going back. This little camera is an excellant buy.

I haven't used this camera as much as I expected to yet, but it's easy to use and takes care of all the basics. I need a good outdoor performer, so limited my search to devices with optical viewfinders for shooting in bright light situations. Unfortunately, these are becoming increasingly rare as manufacturers eliminate these to make room for larger LCD displays. Consider this factor if you shoot outside on sunny days a lot.

It's an execllent little camera that takes superb snapshots but also offers all sorts of creative possibilities to add your style to your photos. After a couple of months of use I'm still finding new things that it can do (the pdf manuel is nearly 3oo pages long!). Compared to my previous 'Ixus' I particularly like the 'review' button that doesn't switch the camera on while looking at and editing previous shots and the 'face recognition' ehich works well. Movie capabilities are much improved too and easier to use. Great results so far and well recommended.

Takes decent photos for a pocket camera. Seems to over expose when left to its own devices. Claims that battery life is poor are exaggerated. I have lithium batteries in it and have taken over 880 photos and 5 videos with no change in batteries. Timed shutter functions make night photography a breeze.
