Default Digicamreviews Reviews the Canon Powershot A590 IS

http://www.digicamreview.com/canon_...90is_review.htm

"Announced early 2008, the Canon Powershot A590 IS is one of Canon's new compact A series digital cameras with image stabilisation. It features a 4x optical zoom lens, a 2.5" LCD screen, VGA video recording, a 8 megapixel sensor and face detection focus. The Canon Powershot A590 IS is available from around £113 which is very good value for money. The camera is enclosed in a robust two tone metallic grey finished body. The camera measures approx. 94.3 x 64.7 x 40.8mm (excluding protrusions), and weighs approx. 175g. excluding battery and memory card."

Honestly, the summary "The Canon Powershot A590 IS is a robust compact camera that provides an impressive 2.5" LCD screen, 8 megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom lens and image stabilisation" seems to be so the same these days. I guess I have been reading too many camera reviews. :-) Having said this, there are a number of notable things about this camera - the great battery life, good image quality, and a 2.5" LCD screen. I was at Adorama in New York today, and I thought it was a little bulky, but generally liked it. Best part is that for well under $200, you get the camera and a ton of accessories (SD card, mini-tripod, and a camera case).

I think this is one of those rare cameras that use AA batteries, which may be a good differentiating feature for some people...
