Very good

7.8

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 7.8 out of 10
Reviewed by Will Greenwald
Review date: 3/3/08

The good: Great picture quality; fast shutter speed; broad manual feature set.

The bad: Chunky appearance; slow shot-to-shot time with the onboard flash enabled.

The bottom line: The Canon PowerShot A590 IS's manual exposure controls and surprisingly sharp pictures make it a great choice for almost anyone looking for a sub-$200 shooter.
