I've had this camera almost two months now. It takes great pictures and videos, even HD videos. If you plan to take HD videos or save hi-quality images in RAW mode, invest in a 16GB SDHC class 6 memory card. This gives you plenty of storage space. The only drawback for this camera is battery life. If you take a lot of pictures or videos, keep plenty of standard AA batteries or invest in a couple of sets of hi-capacity AA rechargeables (2600mA or better). If you want to carry only one superzoom camera to take high quality digital images and HD videos, this is the camera for you.

I purchased this camera to take on a vacation. I own an SLR camera which I felt would be to big to carry around on our vacation. However, I have gotten spoiled by the quality of pictures the SLR camera takes. This camera was okay. Many pictures came out blurry which was disappointing. I kept forgetting to turn the flash on when it was needed. I wish it had an automatic flash b/c some of my pictures came out dark. The camera was small and was easy to carry around. The zoom is nice however I noticed if you zoomed in to the maximum amount the camera had a hard time focusing.

Bought this camera because of the good reviews it received and because I already have, and am impressed with, a Canon digital SLR.
The great thing about this camera is that it can be used as a "point and press" gadget, but with minimal effort, it can perform a lot of the operations my SLR can. I like the optical viewfinder for those times when there is a lot of ambient light, but the screen allow easy picture composition.
Picture quality is excellent, and with a 4GB card, you can take hundreds of pictures at high quality without having to download - a boon if you can't easily get to a computer.
Overall, an excellent camera at a good price!

I purchased the camera a few days before my trip to the Caribbean. I didn't have much time to get the feel of it but took it anyway. It was quite user friendly and took out superb pictures. All my friends were amazed by the clarity and detail shown in the pics. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants to snap some professonal style pics without having to purchase a $800 plus camera.

Pros: Easy to use, superzoom, outstanding clarity & quality, long battery life
Cons: I find it gets heavy, but I have a fanny type camera bag that seems to help with that.
I am a complete rookie when it comes to photography. I wanted a point and shoot camera that I could grow into. The x20 optical zoom does truly take fantastic pics of the moon. This camera allows you to point and shoot and take fantastic photos. However, there is also the manual and program sets that will allow you to create custom settings. (This is where the "grow into" comes in.)
The photos I've taken have been tremendous and have changed how my family lives their lives, lol. Always ready to pose for Mom or stop the car for that "shot".
At this price (at the time of this $380 min) is a valuable investment. I look forward to using this camera for year and years to come. I have graduations to capture=)

This camera takes very nice pictures. But it eats batteries like it is going out of style. I went thru a lot of batteries when I took pictures at my brothers wedding. A lot of features, that I haven't even used yet. I love the feature after taking a picture, no matter which way you hold the camera, the picture adjust - going from vertical to horizontal. Overall a very good camera for the price with the exceptions of the batteries. Also, I would recommend to get the 4 GB memory card. It holds over 1,700 pictures.

This camera is excellent. It is very small and compact but packs a real punch. The image quality is very good (if you don't compare it to a Digital SLR) and it also has pretty good video quality too.
Features worth mentioning are that it also allows you to record video clips for as long as your memory card (and battery) will allow. It also has a funky time lapse video record mode that allows you to record over a long period of time and have a short video clip at the end of it. Very fun to play with.
The image stability makes a noticable difference to image quality, especially in lower light conditions so definitely get a camera with it on if you can.
The battery life I would consider 'very good' but not excellent. It did run out on me when recording a two hour long time lapse clip, but it had been used a bit before that too. To conserve power it turns the screen off when using this feature so they have clearly thought it through.
This is a very competent camera with a lot of positive features and I can't really say anything bad about it.

This particular camera is excellent, especially for the price. I had actually bought this to record a concert,(Nine Inch Nails). did really good, besides the poor lighting that went with the ballroom. Did not help what so ever. Got great audio. Got great videos. So if looking to buy a great camera to do a great job I would choose this one.

I bought my A630 about 4 months ago. Before I had a Kodak Easy Share 4.0 mpx, and I figured it was time for an upgrade, because I was going to study abroad in Germany for the semester and I naturally wanted really good photographs.
It's a month before I come home and overall I have to say that I love the pictures this camera has produced. I'm not a photographer, but I am really picky about photo quality, and this camera doesn't disappoint. It has a setting for virtually everything you could want. Sometimes the setting for the situation wouldn't work as well as other settings (for taking a picture of a statue at night, I got the best picture with the indoor setting without flash instead of the night setting. Who would have guessed?) Also, sometimes my pictures would be blurry or have a lot of noise in the pictures with indoor settings. The blurry-ness could get annoying sometimes when I just wanted to take a great picture, but I would just apply the high ISO or change settings and it would be fine. While traveling, the biggest problem I've run into with this camera has been the size. I knew it was big when I bought it, and it was a sacrifice I was willing to take. But I think it's worth mentioning: This is no pocket camera.
My favorite thing about this camera is all of the customization features for pictures before you take it. I also find it really easy to use these features, which is nice for click-and-go situations. My personal favorites are the color exclusion and foliage setting. They make outdoor pictures look really natural (even with people in them). Also, the rotating screen has come in handy, not just for self/group portraits (because it's awkward to ask a passerby in another language to take your picture) but for awkward shots too. Instead of bending over to get a good angle, I can just rotate the screen and see what kind of a shot I'm going to get. Along the same lines, I've gotten good videos out of my A630 as well. You can tell exactly what the talking moose is saying in a crowded market!
I also found it useful to use rechargeable batteries because the camera does hold 4 of them (they last for quite a long time!) and it's just cheaper in the long run if you rely heavily on your camera day in and day out.
Overall, through my experience, I would recommend this camera to anyone who travels and wants unforgettable pictures and is willing to settle for a bulky camera. I can honestly say that this camera has brought out the mini-photographer in me, because now I try every setting and angle to make stuff look cool!

I bought this camera about a month ago, so I've had a little time to use it and found it to be a great camera. It's a good mix of being both a simple "point-and-shoot" camera or allowing great control in manual modes for special effect pictures. I don't consider myself to be a good photographer, yet the pictures I get with this camera are great. I've had a couple of digital cameras, but this one blows them away. Several features I like are that it uses SD or the newer SDHC cards, standard or NmHI AA batteries, has an optical viewfinder (great for us over 40 people). While it comes with a good deal of documentation, using this camera without reading too much of that is easy. The onscreen menus are easy to navigate. To be honest, I can't think of a bad thing to say about this camera. Well, one thing is they give you a 32 meg SD card with it, which is pretty useless as an 8 mega pixel super fine picture will consume close to 4 megabytes of memory... Personally I would recommend at least a 512 meg card, also, get good NmHI rechargeable batteries and charger.

After lots of thinking (only because I still have/had a perfectly working digital camera, although already somewhat outdated) finally decided to buy this camera, and after the first minute all doubts were gone. Compared to my old camera (also a Canon), everything is so much improved that I should have bought it much earlier. For me, the perfect combination between a DSLR and a compact camera.

My wife wanted a new camera so we did some shopping and she liked this one at Best Buy. She has large hands and now-a-days everything is made so small and compact. She was happy to find this one and we have had Canon's before. Did some research and it got good reviews so went online and saved like $75 buying it from Amazon. We love it. Takes great pictures, is fast, startup time is a little slow but not bad.

I bought the camera for my wife in the begining of the school year, she is a preschool teacher and loves to make collages of the kids and print them on large format photo paper and post or give the parents. This camera exceeded all expectations. Very good quality even indoors in a not well lit class room. The clarity is amazing and she loves the wide angel. Last week she tried the video and we were totally blown away. I mean on a digital camera the pictures are good but video is usually substandard. Not on this camera. It is great. Of course now she is making DVDs of the kids for the year book and she is having a blast. Even the sound pick up is not bad, although she is using a Karaoke box and mic to amplify the sound in the room. Not bad for the price. We haven't even used most of the bells and whistles on this thing but we will.

Just bought one today to replace my Ricoh Caplio R4 that finally packed-in.
My R4 had 7x zoom, which I sadly miss, and wide-angle too.
But fed-up of digital cameras packing-in on me after only 2 years, when previously my old 35mm Olympus had been faithful for 17 years, I decided to go for a really cheap and cheerful one in the A470.
I saw it advertised in Argos for only £49 (sorry Amazon) and looked it up on WHICH? when I got home.
Which gave it a good review so, even though it is slightly bulkier than I'm used to and has only half the zoom, I decided to go for it.
So far the picture quality is far superior to the poor quality I'd unfortunately got used to.
I also like the photo viewer which rotates photos that you have taken vertically so that you always view them the correct way up. NICE TOUCH.
It was extremly easy to use without once referring to the instructions - basically just take it out of the box and start taking pictures.
In summary, it does exactly what it says on the tin and I like it.

These PowerShot "A" cameras are Canon's attempt to deliver the quality and features of its more expensive PowerShot "G" and PowerShot Pro "S" lines (such as full zoom lenses) at a budget price. The results are pretty good. (How do I know? Because I've actually gotten to use all of these cameras. I earn my living at Walt Disney World writing a travel guide, and nearly every day guests ask me to take photos of them with their own cameras, which most often are Canon PowerShots.)
Here's my opinion of the top-selling "A" series cameras:
A580. This 2008 model is an A590IS (see below) without image stabilization and with semi-automatic instead of manual controls. I'd spend the extra bucks for the A590IS, because those two features can make quite a difference.
A650 IS. You can do a lot with this sweet little camera, though it may be more than you need. It has a flip-out LCD panel and the option of manual controls. The shots I've seen from this model look great. Keep your ISO under 800 and you won't get any noise.
A720 IS. This fully-loaded 2007 model has all the toys, including a 6x zoom (35mm film equivalent of 35-210mm), image stabilization, adjustable flash power and optional second-curtain flash. This last feature means you can make the flash fire at the end of a long exposure, instead of the beginning, so moving subjects streak into focus instead of out.
A470. This 2008 camera is great for kids or anyone just looking for a good basic camera. It includes Canon's face detection technology and has a zoom lens, 14 shooting modes and the ability to set exposure compensation, ISO and white balance manually. Plus it looks great, and is a good bargain.
Finally, the A590IS (the camera on this page) is a 2008 upgrade to an older model, the A570IS. The face detection system works a little better than the one on its predecessor, and the new model is slightly rounder and easier to grip. I personally like that it has automatic and manual controls, though I haven't seen anyone using the manual set yet. Overall this camera is a fine performer, a great bargain and I think the best buy of the bunch. I bought one for myself.

This is the best digital camera I have owned hands down. I've had a series of Kodak easyshare point and shoot cameras, a Pentax DSLR, and now this Powershot. This camera is worlds better than any camera I have owned. Pictures turn out crisp and clear, timer feature works incredibly well. Action shots and still shots alike are clear. I love this camera!!!

OK, I admit it. I am just a regular person who has a dream of being a great photographer some day. Well, I think this is the camera that will help me do just that. Right now, I can use easy mode to take totally awesome pictures. I took a zoom picture at the airport to see how it worked, and you can almost read the names on the luggage tags! My pictures out of the airplane window looked professional. And as I figure stuff out, this camera grows with you. It does all kinds of amazing things, so I will never outgrow it. I was afraid I would miss the viewfinder. Not at all. I even forgot it doesn't have one. The screen is better anyway. I have glasses, and no more bumping the viewfinder into my glasses!
Like I said, I'm no expert. I can't go into detail about pixels and all the settings, and camera noise. But I WILL learn! In the meantime, I can still take great pictures. I am soooooo happy.
A tip: Get the black Tamrac bag that goes with it. You'll want it!

I already own another Canon digital but I wanted something with a higher optical zoom. I have been using this for the last few weeks and I love this camera. I noticed that results are much better when you use in manual or program modes. It is not possible to reach the desired results with auto. May be I have not been able to figure that out yet.
I do not like that it is slow when you want to take continuous shots but it is so easy to use anyway. However, 2 AA Batteries do not last much, you always have to carry backups if you are on the road. Good part is that you can find those everywhere.
Overall, I am happy with my cool looking camara.

Very good compact little camera giving sharp pictures and good colour. Excellent zooming eye piece good face recognition software and macro. The card and battery case lid opened accidentally once and looks flimsy. The first camera I purchased, the viewing screen was not working and was replaced by Amazon with no fuss or bother. There was no warning that the battery was running out so a spare is a good idea. Excellent hard leather case.

This is a great camera. Image stabilizer works well -- rarely have a blurry photo. Takes nice video with audio, the zoom works well enough for the built-in lens, and I love the widescreen mode most of all. It may not have the highest megapixels, but high MP count does not equate to quality, and this camera has great photo quality. I have taken many postcard-perfect photos with this camera that everyone asks if they're really pics I took or a professional. It's a fairly hardy camera too, as I've dropped it a couple times and it's held up well.

This is my 3rd Canon PowerShot camera. I used to have the A720 before this one. The A590 IS takes nice pictures, however the battery life is too short and when using the flash light, you have to wait few seconds before you can take another picture. It seems to be an issue for all powershot cameras. When using the video, my previous camera used to display the remaining time left. On this one, there is no way to tell if this is 2mns or 10 mns movie. The speaker is also in a wrong spot, where you grab the camera. Most of the time, you put your finger on it.
Other than that it's a good camera.

Heys guys, this is indeed a sweet camera. Great features which have been covered in other reviews already. This is to simply provide an alternative to applying a filter on the end of this unit. It was not designed to carry one as is. But there is a solution. Amazon does not allow links in these reviews since mine was removed. But the company's name is Lensmate. They do have a website. This company has come to our rescue, knowing how important a protective filter is. So voila! An adapter which will accomodate any 58mm filter or step ring. I bought mine I also got the lens cap and a UV protective filter ring from this company. A god-sent for sure. Now lets get to shooting some serious pictures without the worry of scratching our camera lens.

I'm not too demanding. I want to take nice, clear photos and review them on a sizable screen. I want to be able to snap away using the flash often and not have to wait too long with flash availability. I want the total package at a low price and with double A batteries and the SX1101S delivers. When I'm a little more demanding of features and performance, the Canon provides all I ask for. I couldn't be more pleased.

This camera is small and compact, yet it feels like a camera instead of a credit card. It uses two AA batteries that can be purchased anywhere. The camera has many features that you would expect to find on a far more expensive camera. It takes great pictures and is easy to use. It is difficult to see the LCD screen for taking pictures in bright sunlight, but camera shades are made for that purpose. All in all, I would recommend this Canon A470 to everyone. Point, shoot, and enjoy your photos.
