Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image
Stabilized Zoom - ReviewsA camera that's powerful and a great value
"I own a DSLR and consider myself a photography enthusiast. I wanted a small compact camera with me when I don't
want to lug around my DSLR + lenses and equipment. After a previous good experience with the Canon A720 IS, the new
A590 IS seemed like a good choice. Since I'm an advanced photographer, I'll focus on the advanced features of this
camera. The auto modes work as well as any other camera in its class, but the extensive manual features is what
sets apart the Canon A series. What I like about the camera:
+ Compact, stylish. It's smaller than older A Powershots, and the dark grey color gives it a seriousness compared
to the typical bright silver finish.
+ Image stabilization works very well, it allows me to take blur-free photos 2-3 stops below the recommended
shutter speed, that means at 35-50mm f2.8 1/10 sec shots are CONSISTENTLY possible indoors without using flash.
+ Good image quality. Expected from Canon, but even better is adjustable contrast, saturation, and sharpness
settings, along with the typical JPG compression and resolution sizes.
+ Fast and responsive. I was surprised how responsive this camera is even compared with my DSLR. Shutter lag is
very low for a compact digicam, and when I pre-focus with manual focus, it's even faster.
+ Manual modes. Aperture priority and shutter priority are great, the M mode is even better than other A Powershots
such as the A720 because now there's a light meter on the right side that adjusts live based on what the camera
thinks is the optimal exposure setting. And you can adjust aperture/shutter speed and see how it affects the final
exposure. Ideally a live histogram would be even better, but this is very handy.
+ Manual focus. Although the LCD resolution is not good enough, even with the point zoom option, manual focus helps
in close-up work and pre-focusing for action or creative photography.
+ Manual flash modes. In addition to automatic flash. The manual flash allows me to adjust the flash power in 3
levels, and prevents a pre-flash. This last part is important for using a remote optical slave flash. I can
basically take professional looking studio pictures with this camera with my external flash equipment.
+ Optical viewfinder. I don't use this much yet, but can come in handy in bright sunlight conditions, or when
battery conservation is needed.
+ Battery performance seems improved over previous A powershots too. The official specs give it 220 shots on
regular alkalines and 500 on rechargeable NiMHs. Good news is they use common AA batteries that you can buy
anywhere instead of proprietary models with specific chargers.
Now the negatives. I hope Canon can improve these aspects in their future models.
- Slow flash recycle times. This is to be expected from a camera that takes AA batteries. Would be nice if the LCD
didn't blank out after a full flash discharge. Not a big deal since I use an external flash anyway, and the
camera's flash is manually set to medium output as trigger (so recharge is faster). I would not want to give up the
AA battery convenience for a faster flash recycle time though.
- Higher resolution LCD. The 2.5" 115k resolution LCD is ok for framing and casual browsing, but higher resolution
would be nice.
-Live histogram while shooting. This feature is available when reviewing a photo, but not live. Other manufacturers
have implemented this, and Canon should also, especially since the unofficial CHDK software mod allows such a
feature.
- Larger aperture would be nice. Such as f/2.0 (instead of f/2.6) at the wide end, and f/4.0 (instead of f/5.5) at
the telephoto end. That way a lower (& less noisy) ISO can be used in dim conditions or when fast shutter
speeds are needed to freeze action. All the electronics in the world can't replace a good large lens. Also allows
more creative depth of field control.
- A wider wideangle would be nice, 28mm instead of 35mm (35mm equiv). I'd rather see a wider wideangle than a
longer zoom.
- Video feature is not ideal. Optical zoom is not available during recording of video. And the more efficient MPEG4
compression is not used, so video files tend to be large. Also noticed at 640x480 resolution, the highest fps is
now 20 instead of 30 from other A models. A definite step backwards.
- Noise at higher ISOs. This is due to the smaller sensor on compact cameras. But 8 MP is probably the most pixels
that can be crammed into a small 1/2.5" sensor. I'd rather have a cleaner picture at 6-7 MP than a noisy 8 MP
picture. And if in-camera noise reduction is used, I'd like to see an adjustable setting for how much is being
applied.
- And if I were to be really critical: There's no indicator of what optical zoom level I'm at. Slight image noise
is noticeable even at ISO 80 when I zoom in really close on a monitor view. When at the widest angle &
aperture, there's slight barrel distortion and blurriness on the corners. Not many compact cameras can do better in
terms of image quality, but I'm pointing them out here because even though this camera beats most of the
competition, it still has room for improvement.
So overall it's a great camera for the price. Offering great image quality with the auto settings for the casual
user, but also a powerful set of features for the more advanced photographer."
Hard to beat
"These PowerShot "A" cameras are Canon's attempt to deliver the quality and features of its
more expensive PowerShot "G" and PowerShot Pro "S" lines (such as full zoom lenses) at a budget price. The results
are pretty good. (How do I know? Because I've actually gotten to use all of these cameras. I earn my living at Walt
Disney World writing a travel guide, and nearly every day guests ask me to take photos of them with their own
cameras, which most often are Canon PowerShots.)
Here's my opinion of the top-selling "A" series cameras:
A580. This 2008 model is an A590IS (see below) without image stabilization and with semi-automatic instead of
manual controls. I'd spend the extra bucks for the A590IS, because those two features can make quite a difference.
A650 IS. You can do a lot with this sweet little camera, though it may be more than you need. It has a flip-out LCD
panel and the option of manual controls. The shots I've seen from this model look great. Keep your ISO under 800
and you won't get any noise.
A720 IS. This fully-loaded 2007 model has all the toys, including a 6x zoom (35mm film equivalent of 35-210mm),
image stabilization, adjustable flash power and optional second-curtain flash. This last feature means you can make
the flash fire at the end of a long exposure, instead of the beginning, so moving subjects streak into focus
instead of out.
A470. This 2008 camera is great for kids or anyone just looking for a good basic camera. It includes Canon's face
detection technology and has a zoom lens, 14 shooting modes and the ability to set exposure compensation, ISO and
white balance manually. Plus it looks great, and is a good bargain.
Finally, the A590IS (the camera on this page) is a 2008 upgrade to an older model,
the A570IS. The face
detection system works a little better than the one on its predecessor, and the new model is slightly rounder and
easier to grip. I personally like that it has automatic and manual controls, though I haven't seen anyone using the
manual set yet. Overall this camera is a fine performer, a great bargain and I think the best buy of the bunch. I
bought one for myself."
