This is a great camera that is easy to use and has long battery life. I sell on eBay so a camera that takes clear pictures is a necessity, so when my former camera quit working I researched and discovered that I could purchase this new Canon for not much more than repair costs for the old one. I found the Canon on Amazon.com and received it 2 days after I ordered it! Great deal.

I would have given this a 5 star rating but, in my opinion, Canon's software stinks. Every other digital camera I have had recently ( I have 5) will simply connect via USB and appear as either another hard drive on my system or, automatically open it's proprietary program. With Canon, you must install their software then, try to figure out how things work as you go. The user manual is of little help.
Considering the quality of the A590, I would have expected much more
in the both the ease of installation and, user friendliness of the software.
Every time I connect the camera to download images, I must manually
select the Canon camera window utility from a pull down menu that appears to view or download my images. It's so much easier with my other 4 cameras to simply drag and drop the files wherever I want to put them in explorer.
I would still recommend the camera.....just not the software that comes with it. Also, unlike other cameras that act much the same as a flash drive does when connected to various PC's, with this Canon, if you ever have the desire to connect the unit to a PC other then your own, you will first have to bring the software with you and install it on that PC.

I looked around extensively for the best deal in the cheaper cameras that come with decent zoom and pixel size and this camera is a lot better than anything rival companies have out at the moment for the same price. I've used a few digital cameras over the years and this is as good, well actually better than the ones I used that cost slightly more than it. I was also going to buy a camera bag for this but the shape fits well enough into my pants pockets and the way the camera lens retracts when it is off protects it, plus its so light you don't even notice it, so I don't think I'll bother.
What I also really liked about this camera was the software that came with it. I especially liked the stitching program which allows you to join multiple images together to become one image (which saves on uploading to website costs as the one image is a lot less pixel size than the independent photos are). Also handy for facebook albums and the like where your limited to the number of images in an online album. You can either create a wide landscape image of the one thing or stictch totally different images together for example people at a party. Images don't even have to be the same size if you've cropped some and you can use any images on your computer not just ones taken on this camera. This program's easy to use and after a bit of trial and error you'll be getting the results you want.
The only thing I'd advise Canon to fix on the next model is the memory card/battery door. This is a bit fragile and if you had to change either card of batteries real quick as your subject is moving away you may miss the shot. But if you get a bigger memory card (camera comes with a small 16MB ,about 15 shots card) and use rechargeable AA batteries, replacing them before you head out you should overcome this problem. This door is certainly not a major problem but still annoying enough that Canon should change this design in future models.
By the way you can also get this camera with a dark blue face instead of the grey.

This canon camara for this price takes excellent shots and very easy to use. I just took the camara on vacation on a cruise to the caribbean and it was a pleasure to use. The pictures are very vivid and the many knobs on top of the camara are easy to use to change from auto to landscape to portrait etc. I'm really enjoying this great little camara by canon.

I purchased this camera after a long review and shopping process. It takes terrific photos and the set-up settings are quick and easy. I can change from landscapes to portraits to movies quickly with a little twist of the knob. I wanted something compact but also something that I could grip easily.
There are only 2 things I am not pleased with.
1. The little plastic cover for uploading doesn't easily open and I can't seem to get it to open all the way. I have to kind of work the connection under and into the slot. I feel eventually it will break. This could use a redesign.
2. The hand strap provided is pretty big and I am a big guy. I find it difficult putting my hand in and then wrapping my hand around to hold the camera. A little cinching clamp would be nice because I could then just let it hang from my wrist. Absolutely cannot do this now.
Other than that, great product and a great price. Best Buy was $40 more.

I researched cameras for weeks to finally purchase this one. We bought this one at Sears for much more money but it was still worth it. I have had it for months and still haven't learned everything it can do but my pictures come out beautiful and I have recommended it to everyone.

Got the camera as a Christmas gift for the wife, who wasn't happy with our other point & shoot cameras because of the lack of focal length for taking pics of the daughter at her VBall games. Didn't want the hassle/size of my digital SLR. The camera is impressive! Easy to use, amazing telephoto capabilities and pictures that easily surpass the Canon, Sony and Olympus point & shoots that other family members have, which are 1, 2 and 3 years old. Could not be happier with it. It has been borrowed mulitple times already by kids who would rather use it because of that 10X optical zoom. With the digital zoom, it's got greater magnification than my SLR with a 300mm lense. The only 'negative' is that with such a small and light camera, it is hard to hold steady at high magnification; you need a stabilizing point or monopod.

I purchased a CanonPowershot
SX110IS for my daughter for Christmas. The price listed was 149.99. I ordered believeing that the camera was in stock. About a day later I received notice that the camera would be delivered in March. This was way too long to wait so I proceeded to cancel the order. Lo and Behold, the camera was now in stock at a price of 199.00!!! I went ahead and ordered the second camera and cnaceled the first one, but I feel that I was caught. I believe that Amazon knew that all the customers who wanted the camera for Christmas would pay the extra 50.00 just to get it. The camera is just what she wanted, but I wonder how the company could go from having the camera at 149.99 (delivery in late Feb. or early March) and then in the space of several days suddenly have the camera at 199.99---immediate delivery. Interesting, don't you think?

I haven't used the camera that much yet but I am still learning all the features. I'm practicing before my next big trip which is in just a few days. The deal was great - digital camera, memorary card and carrycase and all for $144.00. I'll write more after I use it more and upload photos to my pc.

we had the canon a510 before this one which was terrific, we had to send this one back back. The pictures weren't very good and took way to long to recover for next picture when using the flash.

I was fed up with not getting good close-ups. My camera was just not good enough so I wanted a better digital camera but didn't want to pay too much. This camera has proved ideal. I now have several good pictures of the birds in my garden even without using a tripod. I was able to take good photos of the church even though I could not stand very far away. I am very pleased with my purchase and am looking forward to my holiday. It is very good on power, it does not eat batteries like my old one. It is also easy to use although it will be a while before I learn all its functions!

I've owned this camera for about a month now. It replaced a 4 year old Canon Powershot A85 that started to get some colored pixel defect on the pictures (dust in the lens?). Anyways, I purchased this camera through Amazon, which shipped it quickly and safely. I've been on several hiking excursions with this camera and it has been wonderful. I love the 10x optical zoom (along with the digital zoom you can go up to 40x zoom!). But, at this high of zoom, it is sometimes difficult to find your subject in the LCD display (could benefit from a viewfinder). Controls are similar to what I was used to with the old Canon. I am getting excellent battery life out of a set of Duracel 2650mah NI-MH rechargeable batteries.
I've been able to get excellent indoor and outdoor photos, and even experimented on some night time photos (have to play with the manual settings to get some decent night photos), and even took a picture of the full moon at 40x zoom -- it looks like your looking through a telescope! The only problem I've had with blurred photos was when taking photos at high zoom in poor light. Other than that, the photos have been perfect.
At the time of me writing this, the SX100 has become difficult to find, but Canon just announced the SX110, which should be a worthy upgrade if you cannot find the SX100.

The camera lasted two minutes then froze. Wasn't on my Amazon account under recent purchases so by the time I contacted the seller it was just over their two week return limit.Have to go through the hassle of returning to manufacturer. Just a very un-needed hassle really.

I purchased this camera for its size b/c i didn't want to take my good camera on vacation. For the price you can't beat it and its pretty durable, i slipped on a waterfall and the camera hit a rock which knocked off some pieces- but i was able to put them back on with ease and the camera is fine. I would recommend this camera.

I love my photography and I have the Canon EOS 50d DSLR camera, but as you need a rucksack just to take everything you need out, I wanted a point and shoot for the times you are not going on expedition! I have been a fan of the Canon ixus range ever since my first 2mp digital camera, with good software and ease of use was always my first choice. So after my DSLR I was worried I would have been spoilt, however this camera has the same number of pixels, uses the same processor and has many of the same functions like IS and lots of other useful functions like face recognition. It also has many of the preset modes that the DSLRs have and even has a semi-manual mode if you feel a bit adventurous! Only small criticism is that it's not the smallest camera on the market so doesn't quite so easily fit into your pocket, but then I think it's worth it for all the functionality you get

The Camera and the Waterproof case are a perfect pair though it finally happened; the S80 LCD Shattered. Not wanting to purchase and relearn another system, I had the LCD replaced ($$$) but I'm glad I still have a strong combination in the S80/WP-DC1. It handles extremely well in cold water diving off the coast of Northern California as well as deep warm water dives - the results are exceptional. The system is not for the casual camera handler and requires practice and experience.

I bought this camera to replace my 5MP camera and overall this was a great purchase it takes pretty clear pictures and good movies.the only problem was bulk it weighs about 7 ounces which is pretty heavy for a camera.but overall this would make a great first camera.

This is a great camera. I love the zoom lens. I would never go back to anything less that 10X. Another feature I love is that the flash will not go off unless you raise the flash on top of the camera. This keeps young hands from flashing the camera in somebody's face. You can stand back further to take pictures because of the zoom lens and not flash in their face anytime. There are so many features on this camera that I need to learn in order to become a better photographer. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants a really good camera.

Wow! I am very pleased with the Canon Powershot. I am (was) one of those people who resisted on converting from film cameras to digital. After a lot of research, time, and many questions to people whom uses digital cameras I finally decided to purchase one.
What I wanted was a digital camera that was VERY easy to use and would take GREAT pictures of my very active Grandchildren. The Canon Powershot exceeded my expectations.
The Canon Powershot can go from the box to taking great pictures in just minutes. No special camera batteries needed, which who keeps them on hand, it takes double A. I can and have recommended the Canon Powershot to my family and friends.

I purchased this camera for my classroom to take pictures of my students and their activities. The camera is easy to use, takes great pictures. The delay between pictures can be a little frustrating, but I have learned to adapt to the delay. Picture review is simple and straightforward. There are many features on this camera, which requires reading of the manual (not my strength). However, reading the manual will let you use this camera to it's fullest potential. If you don't read the manual, it is a game of trial and error to find the right setting. I like the feature of AA batteries, easier to carry extras. The location for the memory card is easily accessible as well. Overall, great first digital camera. Takes quality pictures and the Cannon name and reputation are obvious.

I bought this ~18 months ago to replace an earlier Powershot which was stolen.
Pros:
- lots of features
- small enough to fit in your pocket
- decent zoom
- decent video
Cons:
- bad low-light performance
- too slow for action shots (sports, etc.)
- e18 / lens error
- frequently gives image stabilization warnings, especially in low light
I'm currently in the market for a new camera - my lens just decided to jam itself open for no apparent reason. Reading reviews for Canon Powershot cameras apparently this is endemic to the entire product line. Called Canon and their flat rate service fee is $139 for a camera I could buy refurbished on ebay for $200 so not exactly a bargain. They did offer a "loyalty" program which looks like they give you about a 50% discount off a refurbished SD850, G9 or Rebel XT if you trade in your old S80.
Now I'm trying to decide if I should go for the refurbished SD850 and risk another lens error, or switch to Nikon.
