Things really do not like the Canon Powershot A590 IS Digital camera

Bookmark and Share

As much as I love the digital camera Canon Powershot A590, there had to be some imperfections. After all, it is a compact digital camera for under $150. No one should expect the absolute perfection of any technology in that price range. Having said that, everything still sincerely recommend this camera to anyone looking for a compact. It is important to understand the shortcomings before you buy.

If you use flash very quickly you will notice that it takes a long time for the batteries to recharge the flash in the following image. AA batteries are partially to blame. Although I am sure that is a point of design, the screen goes blank after that flash has been triggered, you can still be a bit annoying. Anyone using an external flash should not be a problem. AA batteries are convenient and available, but not without its drawbacks.

Although I know that you part of the reason for the lower 2½ inches LCD is to allow for an optical viewfinder, is still a problem. Obviously, this LCD is not designed for sustained display of images. Okay that quickly frame your photos and taking a quick glance to make sure that you have captured the photo you wanted.

A histogram is an indispensable tool in taking digital pictures. Or to edit entries and photos. It is one of the best ways to ensure that your photos will have a precise exposure through all ranges of color. While the A590 shows a histogram after taking the jar, the histogram function is absent. This is unfortunate, as the addition of a histogram would have done the A590 truly a remarkable amount of camera.

The opening of the A590 is also a little on the small side. It is a f/2.6 to f/4.0. A range of f/2.0 to f/5.5 would have been more desirable. The widest range would allow less noise from image in conditions of low light and improved capacity to freeze live action shots.

While this is a compact camera, at an incredibly affordable price, it would be much more expensive to incorporate a lens wide angle or unrealistic. Although I can understand why the types of marketing I would prefer to see more zoom capabilities than wide-angle improvements. Zoom technology, more understood by demographic likely to buy your camera.

Consumers increasingly more these days using their digital cameras to shoot video. While the A590 video is much improved over previous models, there are still some things that Canon could have done better. Setting FPS drops to 20, to shoot at higher resolutions such as 640 x 480. Camera power shot earlier series PowerShot A have a setting of 30 FPS. Canon obviously thinks that consumers are not interested in slightly rough videos.

I have several times due to problems with not cramming too many megapixels in a smaller image sensor, but it seems to be listening. You can find that at higher ISO settings, your images will get a little noisy. Although it may be more difficult to sell a six megapixel camera for less than $150 and then an eight-megapixel camera, the six megapixels would produce best pitchers of cleaners. A manual adjustment would be a good compromise in the situation. Unfortunately, none is present.

Sorry to sound too critical at times, as the Canon A590 is still a great value for the price. If you were buying one however, I would like to know all the advantages and disadvantages regardless.
