I’m checking the Consumer Guide magazine July 2009 “CR Best Buy” and under the COMPACT on page 28, it’s the Canon Power Shot A590IS; and the price range is $110. The overall score for this camera is a 70. Why is the Amazon price so much higher? Did someone make a mistake?

I had a 4 megapixel canon that I loved, but accidentally got it wet and ruined it, so I replaced it with a ten megapixel Nikon, what a joke, the Nikon’s manual was complicated and I never took a picture over 2. 6 megapixel with it, in spite of its ten megapixel rating. Problem was also that the camera would turn itself on in my pocket and the rechargeable battery pack that came with it could only last about fifty picture frames. so I decided to try a Canon again, this time the twelve megapixel camera, again, the camera only takes 3-4 megapixels at the most, but at least I can use rechargeable AA batteries that last for 300 pictures or more, and the on off switch is so well recessed I don’t have to worry about it turning itself on without my knowing it. For my money you have to stick with Canon, simple instructions, maybe not performing like I would like, but way better than a Nikon. . . don’t get Nikons, stick with Canons.

Just returned from a trip to France with this camera. I have purchased Canon cameras in the past and all except for a couple of others I purchased a few years ago, they have been of high quality, but I was horrified to see haloing around the light portions of the pictures in the resulting photographs (in the sky around trees for example) and a general lack of sharpness. The quality is terrible! I am an “art” photographer and have used other point and shoots in the past in my “serious work,” but the quality of this one is exceptionally bad. By my experience with the last few Canon cameras that I have bought, Canon has sunk to the lowest quality, at least on their mid-range point and shoot cameras. It also eats batteries. I was not even able to get through a complete day on a standard set of batteries in this camera, mind you with over average shooting. I would not recommend this camera, nor with past purchases Canons in general if this is what they have come to.

When I first looked at this camera when it came in I noticed the cover over the batteries and SDHC chip looked cheap and was also very hard to open. I had it about 3 weeks when I went to pick it up to use it and I saw where one of the little plastic catches that held it closed was broken off and the cover was opened enough that the batteries would not make contact. This camera is worth about $9. 95 at the dollar store. John Bernache Winter Haven, Fl 33881
