Shooting's easier and the price is right.

Canon - PowerShot A590 Digital Camera —
My last, expensive digital camera has either been stolen or is hopelessly lost in my house clutter. It did a lot of things well, but not nearly as easily as the Canon PowerShot A590IS. This camera's terrific!It features 8.0 mega pixels, 4X optical zoom, optical image stabilizer, and face detection capacity. For all that plus ease of access to thinks like zoom and flash turn-off (far more difficult on my previous camera) the A590 IS is a superb buy at about $100 (or up to $200 if you don't comparison shop). Some may object to the plastic case. I find that it's sturdy enough for me and, with a neck strap, I minimize chances of dropping the camera.
Another of the features that really jazzes me is the way the shutter button responds. You press halfway to focus then all the way to finish. After that you can continue to take pictures even before the image changes.
For now, I'm keeping it pretty simple. But the Camera User Guide promises detailed directions for advanced techniques in its "Learning More" section. Movie making, continuous shooting, slide shows, sound memo, adjustment of color mode, etc. are included.
This camera is easier to hold on to than many. Its handgrip is the housing for both the batteries and the memory card. Batteries, 32 meg memory card, interface cable, AV cable, wrist strap, digital camera solution disk, and warranty card can all be found in the package.
Transferring photos from camera to IPhoto has been no probably at all. At that point I export to Photo Elements and have a blast.
I am really enjoying this camera!
