Summary: point and shoot for grandma
Comment: We have another model and bought this as a gift for my 80 year old mother who had expressed an interest in a digital camera. (And also purchased some rechargeable batteries and a recharger). It is not a pocket size, but it is pretty small.
It seems to take fine pictures for her purposes. With a short hands-on experience, she is comfortable with it. Despite a little arthritis in her hands, she can open the battery/SD card compartment to change batteries or take the card out for reading on her computer. We chose it because it had a view finder as well as the screen. (I appreciate using the viewfinder when I don't have my reading glasses handy since then I can't focus well on any 'screen'. I imagined that the same would apply for my mother).
It can be a little slow in taking pictures, but from our experience with another model, that will be alleviated when we get a fast (class 6) SDHC card for her. It came with a 512MB card that was nothing special. It would be sensible to upgrade that as soon as possible with something like a 4 or 8GB class 6 card and high speed card reader.
The only thing I do not like (perhaps I just didn't read the manual carefully enough to figure it out) is I cannot change the stored image names to a more unique and identifiable naming scheme that uses the date in the name. The best I can do is specify that it never reuse a number over, but it starts at img_0001.jpeg and goes from there.

Summary: Great gift idea
Comment: I bought this item as a gift idea for my girlfriend who is a real shutterbug. I'm not very versed in the whole digital camera craze, but after reading the other reviews of this product I decided this was the way to go. The camera has proved to be easy to use and takes great photos. A larger memory card purchase has ensured this will be a gift that keeps on giving for years to come.

Summary: Gift for my wife
Comment: This my wife's first digital camera. For someone who tends to avoid new technology, she really likes it. She likes that it has a view finder because she is not comfortable holding it away from her face and just looking at the lcd screen. She also likes that it uses AA batteries so that she can bring extras whith her instead of having to plug the camera into a charger. She has only used it indoors so far, but the photos are very clear and the lighting is perfect. Her old camera was fine outside in natural light, but the indoor photos were poor. That makes this camera a hit for her. She needed a little help figuing out the timer, but since we have teens in the house, they showed her what to do. I really like that it uses SD cards because they are much less expensive than the Memory Sticks used by the Sony. If you leave the camera set for max resultion (8MP) the memory cards can fill up quicker than you think.

Summary: Canon PowerShot A590IS
Comment: Hey Everyone. My first review, but I am so very happy with this camera. I bought it as a replacement for a Kodak DX7630 6.1MP I bought 4 years ago. The price I got this camera for here of $109.99, is by far the least expensive I've seen. It is only 1/3 the price of my old camera and by far superior.
Some points...
1) Takes great shots, and with being able to adjust every setting, including focus, if auto or easy mode for some reason didn't get it, then you could.
2)Movie modes. Many to choose from. The smallest is super for e-mail. The largest although running better than a Meg a second is awesome, even at 20 FPS. I think it takes better movies, definitely in low light, then my digital camcorder.
3) The only negative I could mention is that in the highest fine picture mode (which is not the default), the processing time between shots can be long. Sometimes even 5-7 seconds. However, its default mode is superb. I just figure finer is better, since I downsize pics and so want to start with the most picture info. The time lag doesn't bother me. If I needed rapid shots, I'd switch modes, or use burst.
4) It uses 2 AA batteries. I put rechargeables in it. They have never run out on me. However, I always recharge after every large usage occasion.
5) I just got this at Christmas and haven't even gotten through the manual yet. It does so much and I'm always discovering more.
6) For example..my son had a concert. I was way in the back. From my seat, to him on the stage, only the stage lit, with full digital zoom going (16x), it captured a more then usable shot. I was amazed!
7) So bottom line...I love it! Even if it was $150 it would have been worth it.
