Perfect for My Needs
This camera is very straightforward which makes it easy to figure out how to use the various shooting modes offered. I love that it has several auto modes, as well as a shutter speed priority and an aperture priority mode, as well as a manual option. It uses AA batteries, which is nice for me too. The size is manageable. I can carry it in my purse, but it is by no means a mini-digital camera. This camera is exactly what I was looking for and is in excellent condition.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A little too used up
It's more broken than I thought. It still takes images, but the quality is not great.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Replacement for earlier (570) version
Being already familiar with the [predecessor] 570, the 590 takes very little time to become familiar with. Sure, there are some new features, and I haven't had time to read the instruction manual yet. Still has the electronic viewfinder to complement the LCD screen, a great feature; still has only a 4x zoom.... not so great. Next step up: a mirrorless DSLR .... some of which also have a viewfinder. Or, maybe just a newer Point-and-Shoot, with more "power".Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

2nd time owner
I love this camera so much, this is my second time owning one. After the first one, I eventually upgraded to a DSLR. I ended up spending too much money on lenses and accessories, so I sold all of that in an effort to just use my phone as a camera. After thinking I recorded and extremely important event on my phone, later realizing I did not hit the "record button", I decided I wanted this camera again. And i have no regrets :)Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Bought this to replace a lost Canon A590 which I liked a lot
One of the few digital cameras that has view finder, sd card input, telephoto, and replaceable AA batteries; and multiple photo taking options; love those simple but useful features. Camera came in excellent condition.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good
A used camera I bought for $20 (incl shipping) does every thing I want to use it for. Features: Small size. Viewfinder (good when shooting in bright sun) 4X zoom. Movie mode. I bought this camera specifically to take with me on a trip to Europe and to take movie shots then to convert to a Youtube movie.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Camera not bad. Electronics questionable.
Regarding image quality I was expecting a bit better than what I am getting. Not sure if it is a degenerating quality due to the age of the camera and associated electronics. Still a good value.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Very Happy!
Very happy with this camera. I had a camera exactly like this one, I dropped it on the floor and ruined the screen, so this is my replacement, and it takes great pictures.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
