Canon PowerShot A590 IS Digital Camera - Best Selling Super-Savings Bundle

Canon PowerShot A590 IS Digital Camera - Best Selling Super-Savings Bundle

I Love My New Camera

I've always liked Canon Cameras and thought this would be a great Christmas present for myself. I have been using my Canon PowerShot A510 3.2MegaPixels for the last 3.5 years. Comparing the two i would have to say the A510 is more solid than the A590. The newer version seems more delicate/plastic which makes me terrified of dropping the A590. It would appear that the battery cover would break off first...seems a bit too flimsy. I have dropped my A510 many times with a few minor scratches and it still takes great pictures. Access to the digital terminal on the A590 is a little tighter than on A510, they should of just left it the same. Other than that many of the functions are pretty much the same so i don't have to learn too much. I do however like the larger LCD Monitor on the A590 and the darker charcoal grey color. I am an amateur so this is a great point and shoot camera for me for all occasions. Its a bit bulky so for those who like FLAT smaller cameras...this is probably not the camera for you. The camera fits perfect in the case that came with it and leaves plenty of room to put extra batteries on the side. The pictures seem sharp and detailed so far, i have yet to really experiment with this camera. I ordered this camera Christmas Eve and received it 12/30/08. I am happy with purchase of this camera and the extras that came with it. 2.0 USB card reader, 4 GB memory card, camera case & three piece lens cleaning kit all for $132.95 with no S/H! What a deal!

Canon A590 great value

This is an excellent camera for the money!Takes fantastic photos! I purchased this camera for my 13 and 15 years old kids. They love it!!!!

The easier the better

This camera is very lightweight and very easy to use. The picutres are sharpe and clear. I usually use a Canon Rebel and find this does what we wanted. It is something that you can carry in a pocket. We purchased it to use in the office and for events that we attend.

Nice camera but the bundle is iffy

The PowerShot A590 is very impressive. It has a big bright screen, it does a very good job of figuring out exposure and focus, and it even shoots nice video. Buying the camera with this bundle was convenient but the value is iffy. The camera case is very tight, making it difficult to get the camera in and even more difficult to get it out so I'll be buying a bigger case (probably big enough to also hold the accessories). But even if I only use the card reader and 4GB card that came in the bundle, it still appears to be a decent value.

Canon A590 satisfied user

This bundle came with exactly what was advertised, my camera, the case, an extra 4GB memory card as well as a card reader (which is the best thing ever to have, as you don't have to worry about installing any software whether it be a PC or Mac OS). I've received my camera exactly five days ago and have been using it everyday. The standard batteries lasted for four days until I had to pop in my rechargeables which I find was excellent. The only thing I had to look up in the manual was how to get the date stamp on the pictures and how to take continuous pictures. It's that easy to use and understand. It has a feature like the iphone where if you turn the camera horizontally or vertically when watching pictures you've already taken, the picture turns according to which angle you've turned the camera! How awesome is that? And of course you have the option to turn that feature off. The pictures are really crisp and clear. And it's so neat and compact I just stick it in my handbag so that I can have it everywhere I go. I was really astounded by it's size. It's shape makes an amateur like myself feel like a professional because it's not the average flat boring digital camera shape. The only downside I've found is that the strap it comes with (which is an ugly cream colour when the camera is a lovely gray colour), has not adjustment on it so it can easily slide off your hand and fall. I had to take the camera strap off of my dysfunctional Fuji which can adjust firmly to your wrist, to secure your bundle of digital camera perfection. Also how long the screen takes to come back on when you take a picture using the flash. Minor setback excellent purchase for $140 bundle. Overall I'd recommend it to anyone who values taking a quality picture. You can even buy an additional lens to attach to it!

Canon PowerShot G9 12.1MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

No Professional Photographers Here...

I purchased my G9 In March. I wanted a D10, however have a 2 year old and figured this smaller camera would be more practical when we are out and about...and boy, was I right! This camera is amazing! I am definitely NOT a professional photographer, however get professional looking pictures every shot. There are so many features! I especially love the Aquarium setting! Have you ever taken a picture at the aquarium? Normally you can see the flash on the glass and the fish are discolored..well, not anymore!! The images come out crystal clear, as if you are standing in front of the tanks!

LCD cover cracked within 2 months and Canon refused warranty repair

Until Canon can improve the design of this model to improve the cover over the LCD display from than the current flimsy piece of plastic, do NOT get a powershot G9. I owned mine for 2 months before the cover over the LCD display cracked. This after I owned my last camera - an Olympus Infinity Zoom - for 5 years without any problem. The only reason I'm replacing it is because of the better technologies available. Another reason not to buy this model - Canon's customer service and warranty dept are awful. We are a small non-profit and they not only refused to fix our camera under warranty - trying to charge us $160 to replace a cracked piece of plastic - but they were VERY rude in the process. Goodbye Canon. Never another camera from this horrible company.

Obsolete item

Since the new G10 does everything this camera does plus a bit more why on Earth would anyone buy a G9 for 150 dollars more?

Great camera - don't buy it

The Canon G9 is a great camera with terrific features - it is just so unreliable you shouldn't buy it. I have been told that I now need to send the camera back for the 2nd time to get it repaired. Since I now have owned the camera for a year they say it may cost up to $380. I bought the camera to take pictures on trips, the latest problem though occured just in the middle of shooting at home. Not sure I want to even keep the camera even if I get it fixed (and I just bought a dive case for it that I haven't used it yet) because if you can't trust your camera it doesn't matter how many features it has.

Canon G9

Better images than the new G10 (I have both). I do like the G10s wider angle lens however. Both this and the G10 are great high end point and shoots. Best uses are landscapes and subjects that are still. If you want to shoot action, buy a DSLR. Built like a tank and fits perfectly into the "take it everywhere" class.

Excelent Camera

I am glad I bought these camera. Great SLR camera. I know there are better cameras, but these one works perfectly to me. It's fast, not heavy. Really easy way to manage all the features, changing the picture modes, etc...

Canon PowerShot A540 6MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom

Great Vacation Camera

Have had this one for a year. It's a little tricky getting used to the function options, but once you set them, it takes great pictures. Not as prone to catching "orbs" or dust as much as my Daughter's Casio. Images are sharp but "red eye" still a problem with some night shoots. (you can correct on your computer before uploading to shutterfly or other photo services). Lag time between shots is quick, a lot better than my old Nikon Coolpix. This one really shines in outdoor lighting coloration and depth. While I prefer a full sized SLR digital, this is the next best thing when you travel light.

Amazing camera

I'm not a professional photographer... I'm a person who likes to take pictures of almost everything I see :). Most of the time I have my camera with me, and I like just to point-and-shoot in order to take pictures, without any complicated setups. I have this camera for about two years now and I can recommend it highly, and here are the reasons why: - With camera, I bought rechargeable batteries with a charger... Batteries are Nickel-Metal Hydride; 1.2V 2000mAh. I can take about 500 pictures with two batteries (without a flash; with flash it take less pictures). Camera takes two AA batteries, and I have 4 of them, so I always have backup in case I need one... but since they are only AA batteries, even if backup goes off - I just go to any store and buy some more. - With this camera, I bought 1Gb of memory which is quite a lot of storage space, but since I'm taking a lot of pictures and videos, I have one more 1Gb memory (as a backup). It's very easy to replace memory card - almost the same as replacing batteries. - Picture quality is very good. I take pictures from a moving car (my husband is driving), and the pictures are very sharp. I was taking pictures during rain, and on the pictures I can see rain drops! Also, there are no red eyes. - Video quality is amazing! The microphone (located: small holes above lense, oposite from flash) picks up sound really great. When I play the video on my PC, video and sound quality are really amazing - considering that this is "only" Canon PowerShot Digital Camera... - Size is great. Not very small so it's not easy to missplace it, and not big - easy to put in my bag or a jacket pocket. It's also not heavy, so it's easy to carry it around. - Canon PowerShote A540 is a "point-and-shoot" camera. In order to take picture, you need to press "On" button, to point and press button to take picture... it's that simple, and quite fast. It slows down (you need to wait sometimes few seconds between pressing button to take picture and actually taking the picture) when batteries are low; I also noticed delay sometimes when Flash="Auto" and when light is not so bright, so I a have feeling that camera 'is thinking' if the flash should go off or not. - I like that it has 4x zoom, however, when I use zoom, my hand needs to be really-really still in order to get a clear picture - slightest movement will make picture fuzzy. One con from my side is that display is not protected... after two years in my pockets/purse, I can see light scratches on the display. This camera has many modes/options... buy honestly, for my picture taking needs, I'm not even using them - I tried them out, but for every day use, I use modes: "Auto" (for pictures) and "Video" (for video)... and that's about it. Overall, when I look at my previous 2 yrs experience, price, and all features provided, I must say that this is a great camera and I would recommend it to everyone who wants good quality photos with only Point-And-Shoot.

Great Quality

I've been using this camera for close to 2 years now and have been impressed with it's durability and image quality. I find it is not the best in low lighting situations but over all this camera has helped me capture some awesome images. I will be hanging on to it even though I'm upgrading to and SLR soon - a good point and shoot is invaluable.

Great scenic shots for a painter

I have had the Canon Powershot A540 for about 2 years. I upgraded from a Nikon 3200 series. I am always on the lookout for things I can turn into a painting. This camera has served me well. I can take a picture through the front windshield while moving and get a great shot. I do however find that to view the pictures taken you have to move the mode switch down to do a review. If you forget to put it back in camera position nothing happens. I like the factor that it allows me so many different shooting modes. It has portrait, landscape (although I've never used it when filming landscape),night snapshots, kids & pets, indoor, foliage, snow, beach, fireworks and underwater. You can change the shooting mode using the button on top of the camera. Can't get any easier than that. Normally I've not had to change my setting to shoot a picture of an amazing color sky. It's response is quick, red eye is reduced but not totally eliminated as I have found out in some shots I've taken. It is lightweight and small enough that it fits in a small cosmetic case in my purse. Uses 2 AA batteries. I use the photo batteries and for me they last a long time. I've been amazed at how long they last. For me downloading is very convenient. I remove the SD memory card and put it in my computer. Then I can go in and crop, stitch, and do whatever I feel has to be done to make the picture better. The zoom is great, brings what I want closer without losing any detail. In normal setting, I've taken indoor pictures of the grandchildren and my husband and they are perfect. Color is very good. The one thing I would really like to have on this camera is image stabilization. Looking now to getting either the new Kodak Zi6 pocket camcorder or the RCA small wonder EZ201 so I can capture pix of my great grandchildren doing their thing.

good quality, slightly overpriced

good quality, everything it said it would be, etc. but i went to staples the day after it arrived, and newer model was 20 dollars less. so i think it was overpriced.

Canon Powershot A2000IS 10MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

Canon Powershot A2000IS 10MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

excellent camera in this price range/category

easy to use, takes great pictures, in this price range/category you can't do any better..i did a lot of research. I initially did not like the AA battery power source, but like very much now that I found good hybrid rechargeable batteries, though the shutter does lag moreso with this power source. The zoom on this camera is awesome. the 3 inch view screen is nice in size, but very hard to see in the sun..even with setting on brightest setting and the resolution is just ok. solid build quality, a little bigger than most cameras in this price range and does not fit in the hand that easy. Besides these few minor gripes, i highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a quality point and shoot with a good zoom and 10 megapixels.

My disappointment is so high

I am very sorry I bought the new Canon A2000 camera. I will be giving the camera to my nephew, since my disappointment is so high. I cannot express my frustration level at the amount of time it takes for the flash to recharge and at Canon for even bothering to release such an inferior "A" series replacement. I implore upon Canon to go back to the drawing board on this one. I read all of the reviews on Amazon and I have to respond directly to that one review where the reviewer foolishly tries to justify his positive review based on the review of a camera-review Website. One other reviewer responded in the comments section to said review, but his or her reply won't be seen in the general review section, so I will paste in what he or she said here. (These are excerpts from a professional camera reviewer.) "The A2000 is a bit of a new departure for the A-series. Previous models in the range have been popular with hobbyists and more experienced photographers, thanks to their robust construction, excellent handling, limited but useful range of manual exposure controls and optical viewfinders. The A2000 has none of these things, and appears to be aimed at less ambitious photographers looking not for manual versatility but for a simple, easy-to-use general-purpose compact. If this represents a new direction for the A-series then there will be some disappointed customers. "The body is made of plastic, and although the camera does feel solidly weighty, the body panels seem to be thinner than previous A-series cameras and creak alarmingly when squeezed. There's nothing really wrong with it, but it does feel more cheaply made than some previous models in the range. "The A2000 has no optical viewfinder, but it does have an enormous three-inch LCD monitor. However this too is not up to the high standard of previous A-series models. It has an extremely narrow viewing angle of only about 30-odd degrees vertically, making it difficult to use for over-the-head shots, and it is also highly reflective. It's the first Canon monitor in a long time that I've actually had difficulty using outdoors. "Main shooting mode is controlled via a large dial on the camera's top panel. The dial itself feels a bit cheap and clunky, with distinct air of Fisher Price about it. "The menu on the A2000 appears to be similar to some of the recent IXUS range, with fewer options than usual for an A-series camera. "The external controls don't appear to be as solidly mounted as they might be, and some feel decidedly flimsy. Catch one with the edge of a fingernail and it gives an distinctly plastic `ping'. "The zoom control is a rotary bezel around the shutter button. The control action is fairly crude; you have to turn the ring a long way to make it move, and when it does it moves jerkily and too quickly, making accurate framing difficult. Since the 6x zoom range is a major selling point of the camera I would have hoped that Canon might do a better job on the zoom control. "Low light focusing is not as reliable as some other recent cameras. "Verdict The Canon PowerShot A2000 IS is a little expensive for a mid-level compact, and the overall build quality and low-angle monitor may cause some disappointment. The lack of the usual A-series manual exposure options and optical viewfinder may also put off some potential buyers. "Yes, the review listed many positives, but with so many negatives, you can clearly see why many people would give this camera some low star ratings. Also, the low star reviews are a reflection of the huge disappointment with Canon regarding their latest A model. They could have and should have done better. They are charging $250, and it is 2008, and the flash recharge time is unacceptable. Also, when considering reviews, you have to take into consideration that one might be trying to help people decide if there are better cameras if one doesn't really care about the AA battery issue. "I think the A2000 deserves the majority of low star ratings it has on Amazon as of today. Thank you." I agree with the above negatives and opinion. And I would concur that the A2000 deserves a lower star rating because the scale is different with this camera. The rating is on this latest "A" series replacement camera from Canon; a camera line that takes AA batteries.

Not up to par

I thought this 10 meg camera would blow my old Casio 5 meg out of the water! Wrong.... The zoom was nice but everything else is sub par. I returned it and purchased another cheap Casio with 8 meg. The doulble A batteries are nice except they take a full 4-5 seconds to recharge the flash. I am not a huge camera guy by any means. I keep a small easy to use camera. Pictures taken with my old Casio looked better than with this new Canon. And yes I had it on the high resolution. Save your money and buy a cheap little Casio for a great general purpose camera.

This Canon is a Dud

I've been shooting with Canon digital cameras for years, even though their lenses tend to get stuck after a while. So I invested in this one as soon as it came out. Big mistake: When the flash is on, it takes more than 5 seconds to shoot pictures in sequence. So if you're trying to take animal pictures, or even pictures of kids, the moment will be lost. I do give the camera 2 stars for the nice big screen and the on-screen display that lets you know what mode you're in. Also, I highly recommend dealing with 17th Street Photo through Amazon (or, if you're in NYC, in person). The guys are great to deal with.

Right for the price

I think this camera deserves four stars. I have used at least 10 digital cameras in the past 10 years, not counting the SLRs. At this price, $249, I think what this camera offers is as good as you can get from a pocket camera. There are some pros and cons but the pros far outweigh the cons. I like the A2000's solid feel and weight, unlike the flimsy feel of the most other recent A series, such as my A570is. The pictures are as good as, if not better than, any pocket camera at this price. There are complaints about noise, but again find me better pictures from the same class of cameras. The features, however, are what please me. I am not going to repeat them since it's on the product description, but the use of AA batteries and 6x zoom are must haves for me. For better pictures quality, I use my SLR, but for pocket convenience, I'll just enjoy this for the time being, until the technology catches up with our unquenchable taste. -----Added------ After using it for a while, I couldn't understand how anyone would rate this camera lower than 3 stars without good reasons.

Canon Powershot SD990IS 14.7MP Digital Camera with 3.7x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)

I guess I was expecting a little more...

I upgraded from SD-450 to this camera. I guess my expectations were high. So, far my photos are good but not better than the 450 as far as the clarity. My biggest issue with this camera is that my photos are soft (not sharp) indoors. In good lighting, they are amazing. Also, I wish the LCD viewer was a larger. With that said, I love the face recognition with the zoom feature and "quick shot" feature that makes this camera work similar to an SLR. The video is very clear. I have only used the camera about 8 times so I will update this review upon further examination.

Awesome camera

I got this camera as a carry-around-on-an-everyday-basis camera - got a little tired of dragging my Canon 20D around. This camera is very nicely built, feels very solid and sturdy. The button layout is very easy to use and very fast to maneuver. The learning curve is also quite short, as most things on the camera just makes sense. The technical quality of the camera, leaves little to be desired. It takes amazing photos, of course with all the limitations such a small camera has. The zoom is nice and fast and focusing is most times spot on. Only thing I wish was better, was low light capability, but then again, no camera with a sensor and lens this small will do much better. I can highly recommend this camera as an everyday use camera, due to it's light weight, small size and outstanding quality. A general precaution to every photographer: always bring extra memory cards and batteries - you will end up snapping away..

Way Fast

After hours and hours and hours of surfing reviews, I finally chose this camera since I like the clarity of Canon cameras. I bought a SanDisk Ultra II SDHC 4GB card to go with it after reading reviews which claimed a 4GB is faster than 2GB and SanDisk is a great brand. This camera is so fast. From shot to shot, it is fast, compared with my older Canon. There is also a function where you can press the camera button and it will continuously shoot photos and that is supposed to be even faster. Clear and fast. That's what I need.

LOVE THIS!

I love this camera. I own Nikon DX40 and of course it's nothing compare to that but this is a GOOD camera. I love the fact that I can take as good pictures as my SLR. I love how clear it can be at night. I went to disneyland and was able to capture good pictures of the Fantasmic show with NO FLASH. Although this camera has a lot of functions that I have to learn but I believe when you know how to do it, you will get a good pictures. Great for close up picture. The design is pretty slick. I just love carrying this every where I go..

reccommended! Perfect point and shoot!

I love this camera. It is perfect for me. I wanted a point and shoot that produced quality pictures and it is almost perfect. Size is perfect, very easy to use, even changing settings. I am married to a professional photographer and he is even impressed with the quality. We took it hiking during peak leaf season of NC and the images are very impressive. It is a little slow to respond when shooting so action shots are difficult but I've had the opportunity to experiment with different settings for the same image and it makes post production quick and easy. Even the lights on a very large outdoor christmas tree is lifelike! I have not had the opportunity for fireworks yet so no comment there. For a point and shoot, easy to use with quality images it is perfect. I recommend!

Great Customer Service from Canon

Canon PowerShot SX100IS 8MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver) I previously owned a Canon Powershot S3 and loved it, however it was a bit too big and I wanted more mega pixels so I upgraded to a Powershot SX100. The camera is great and fairly easy to use. The optics in the zoom however are not quite as good as the S3. Pictures seem a bit fuzzy when zoomed in, especially in low light conditions. Also, it's not easy to shot good pictures at night or in the dark. I had better success with the S3 at adjusting the exposure settings to shot clear and well balanced pictures at night. What I really like about the SX100 is the variety of shooting modes. The fireworks mode works fairly well. The aquarium mode is awesome and the foliage mode produces very vibrant pictures of vegetation. The face detection features also works very well. The best thing about Canon cameras are their reliability. Several weeks ago I placed the camera on top of my car and drove off, forgetting about the camera on the roof. When I got the speed of the car up to 50 mph the camera finally fell off and hit the pavement. When I retrieved the camera from the street it was scratched and dented in several places, however amazingly it still worked. I sent the camera back to Canon to have them check it out to make sure that everything was ok with it. Since it was within the one-year warranty period, they replaced the body on the camera and adjusted the optics FREE OF CHARGE. When I got the camera back from Canon it looked like a new camera. I am very pleased and happy with the service received from Canon. I plan to buy a new Canon Powershot SX10 and will keep the SX100 for family photos. Attention - see my hot air balloon photos taken with this camera after it was returned from Canon.

Great Camera

This is a great point and shoot camera with that extra zoom that makes it more versatile than most point and shoots. Cannon products have been pretty reliable for me so far.

Price Warning

I bought this camera in January and am very happy with it. I wasn't into photography before but I had to take a still photo class and this was perfect for what I needed. I don't think it's professional quality but it is definitely a step up from any point-and-shoot I've ever used before. I do agree with other reviews that state it has a lot of "noise" at high ISOs but it's still better compared to what I've seen on my older Fuji and Samsung digital cameras. HOWEVER, I bought this from Amazon in January for $225. I have no idea why it is now almost $700! This is not worth that much money. Please check your prices before you decide to buy this camera! You could probably get one with more megapixels and/or longer zoom for half the price.
