Canon Powershot A590 IS Review

Photography BLOG have reviewed the new Canon Powershot A590 IS - like the A580 it features an 8 megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom lens, 2.5" screen, face detection focus, and takes AA batteries - but adds full manual controls, support for optional lens accessories, and optical image stabilisation. The A590 is available for £112 making it the cheapest Canon available with optical image stabilisation:

"Also, for a model aimed at beginners, features are surprisingly comprehensive, its response times – save for that rather sluggish zoom – pretty good, and it's nice to see true optical image stabilisation included as standard on a camera that costs what it does. The mainly plastic build is well disguised by a more professional looking finish overall, while, once batteries and card are inserted, the whole thing feels reassuringly solid and robust."
