Canon PowerShot A590 IS prices and specs
The PowerShot A590 IS was released on Jan 24, 2008 and is sold in USA for 294.00
The PowerShot A590 IS is a point and shoot camera. Its main advantage is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The PowerShot A590 IS is equipped with various automatic modes but you won't make photos of the same perfect quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The PowerShot A590 IS can shoot pictures at 8 megapixels highest resolution. But for better picture quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the PowerShot A590 IS will make pictures with not so high quality as cameras with bigger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the PowerShot A590 IS is small. But if you want to produce pictures of the professional quality pay attention to Leica Q (Typ 116).
The PowerShot A590 IS has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which is rather good for taking action pictures of a very good quality. The PowerShot A590 IS can even shoot videos but the max resolution is not too high - 640 x 480.
The lens is built into the PowerShot A590 IS and the photographer can't switch it. The lens has 4x optical zoom.
