I had done pretty good research before buying this product. seemed the best in my price range and configuration. however on using it seems auto mode is not functioning correctly. i don't see flash working, aperture control is not as expected, i find image blurred in case of movements
would be returning the product soon
thanks

The A590IS has 8MP packed into a small sensor chip which causes the photo details/sharpness to be less than say a 5MP on the same size chip (it's called "noise" in a photo). Advice when buying a digital camera; more MP is not necessarily better. Look at the ratio of MP to chip size/capacity. The lower the ratio of MP to chip capacity = more noise, because the MP take too much space on the chip thus blurring the photo with more pixels. If you buy the A590IS, Canon packs 8MP on a small chip thus creating noise. I had a Canon A610 for two years; 5MP on a small chip but alot less noise than the A590. My A610's sensor chip died after two years (black LCD screen). Bottom line, digital camera technology is not reliable; the life expectancy is not long. At least film cameras lasted more than two years . . .

If you're thinking about buying it and you just want a nice, easy-to-use camera, this is for you. Thank you, Canon.






We are very happy with our new camera


Image noise is only an issue above ISO 200. ISO 400 is quite usable with ISO 800 usable at small print sizes and with NR. There are many programs which will reduce image noise and do a very good job too. Low ISOs can be as good as a DSLR with decent exposure.
G7 output is very easy to achieve since it is basically the A640 with enforced noise reduction (NR) applied. In the case of the A640, you have the choice: scarifice some detail to NR or not.
The lcd screen is larger (2.5") which is helpful but has the same number of pixels as the A620 so looks a little coarser. It does not like bright light behind hit. But moving the articulated lcd helps. The larger screen is great for movie mode - movies look very good.
Its overall speed is about the same as the A620 even allowing for the extra Mpixels - see [...] for a detailed timings etc.
It has an optical viewfinder which is okay but it's not too accurate - as is so with all of these digicams. Using the LCD is a must - it offers framing guides, etc. too.
Focus is almost instant in most situations as is shooting. It uses a focus assist light for low light.
Flash is as it was on the A620. With a little know-how good results can be had even in macro mode. It syncs at 1/60 sec.
The lens is the same 35-140 and a good one too with centre and corners very good. Zoom noise is quiet and not an issue.
Macro mode is excellent with a 1cm distance possible. The 10 Mpixels does make a difference here - great detail in close ups - and using a wide aperture f2.8 you can get nicely blurred backgrounds (the bokeh is quite good). I use a Canon 20D DSLR with a Sigma 105 EX f2.8 macro lens and believe me the A640 can in some situations perform as good.
There are many add ons available: lenses, filters, etc - it uses A620 ones.
Another great compact for anyone to have in their pocket. As a first cam to learn photography with since there are basic modes leading to advanced ones or as a backup to a DSLR system when you want something lighter.


Other than that, it is a great camera, with lots of features and no need to change lenses to get up close shots.




The only minor fault I noticed was its cheaper-made-in-china look. You expect more from a cannon, and that goes for looks as well. Doesn't look too bad, but closer inspection does reveal a not so smooth finish, and its indeed made in china.
Apart from that, there are no quality or functional issues whatsoever.
Battery life is great, weights very less, easy to carry around, comes with its own handy software (which you don't HAVE TO install) and definitely worth its money.
The best christmas gift I gave ever. And everybody really loved it!



Good price for a decent camera
