Canons A-series entry-level point-and-shoot cameras are high-quality, easy-to-use, and very affordable—in short, theyre a terrific value. Case in point: We were impressed with the PowerShot A590 ISs advanced features and sweet sub-$200 price. The...

Inexpensive, even for an entry-level camera. Face detection.

Fewer features than the $179.99 PowerShot A590 IS. Bulky, boring design.

Slow image-processing, tends to over-sharpen, some fringing issues, serious focus-inconsistency.

Ignoring the existence of the PowerShot A590 IS, the Canon PowerShot A580 would be a great point-and-shoot for the money. Unfortunately, for our recommendation, the A590 IS does exist, it offers optical image-stabilization and possibly superior focus...
