Strengths: The Features like Fireworks, Kids&Pets, Beach, Snow, Aquarium, Foliage, Sunset, Night Scene, Image Stabilizer, & Indoor Modes are a Huge Asset to have in a Camera for this Size & Price! Not to mention it also is an 8.0 Megapixel Camera. And to Top it off, it has Manual Modes as well. I absolutely love this Compact Camera. Highly Recommend!!!!
Weaknesses:The only weakness found thus far is Battery Useage... That's if you take alot of pictures like I do. But you can always buy a Power Adapter for it. Also, there are no easy modes for fast moving objects.
Overall Evaluation: A Great All-Around Family Camera. It's a Perfect Camera for almost any situation or scene, except Fast Moving Objects. Highly Recommended for People who have little to no experience with camera's.

Strengths: Cost, battery use, small enough to carry in pocket.
Weaknesses:Battery, SD card door
Overall Evaluation: I love everything about this camera except the battery/sd card door. The bundle I got was great. I do have ONE ISSUE! Shipping BUY DIG used FEDEX and they only deliver 9-5 to you and you must be home.

Overall Evaluation: This is a great camera. Easy to use and understand. I did not have to spend hours reading instructions before taking my first pictures. But it still has many features that I plan to learn to use in the future. It produces quality photos that were easy to download.

Strengths: features,cost, ease of use
Weaknesses:battery/memory card door
Overall Evaluation: My old digital camera was getting worn and wasn't working that great. I finally decided on the Canon camera which was a new model.I am pleased with it so far. It is instinctive and very easy to use.The pictures come out clear and crisp and look great.There is an image stabilization feature which results in much fewer blurry pictures.The batteries even seem to last longer in this camera compared to my old Kodak.The only thing that i'm worried about is the door that opens the battery compartment and memory card slot.It is a bit hard to close....maybe I just have not gotten the hang of it yet....but I just hope I don't break it.That is a minor problem though and has no effect on the performance of the camera.For a new and up to date camera you can't go wrong with this.This is my first Canon camera after decades of using Kodak caneras and it works great.

Strengths: Auto-mode seems fine for most casesface-detectionGood options for advanced photographers
Weaknesses:size - it's not one of those tiny digital-ELF's, but not huge either.
Overall Evaluation: I'm not a heavy photographer, but I've messed around with a few of the options. Scene's seems to work well, and the auto-mode and face detection feature is pretty cool.

Canon PowerShot A590 IS Point-and-Shoot Camera
For a beginner's camera, the PowerShot A590IS offers amazing image quality and superb stabilization.
My digital camera expertise begins and ends with this fact: I cannot resist the urge to photograph a couple of fuzzballs named Chuckie and Violet. I'm a classic novice point-and-shooter, and the crème de la crème of my snapshots find their way onto Flickr or Facebook.
