If you're a budding photography enthusiast, the A590 is just the right camera to get you started with manual controls. Like the A550, this one too scores some serious points, but more than that it's shown a marked improvement over other cameras in the same series. From passing off a well-built camera to producing something as feature-rich as the A590, Canon has made sure there's a lot you will like about this model... especially the price tag.
The camera is not for style junkies interested in investing copious amounts of cash on svelte designs. If you compare the A550 with the A590, there’s little change in the way it looks and feels. The A590 has a comfortable L-shaped design that makes one-handed operation easier. The bulk may keep you from carrying it in your pocket, but it does compensate by being lightweight.
A selection of buttons sort of clutters the rear of the A590. The screen is a 2.5-inch LCD capable of displaying 115,000 pixels, while the viewfinder placed right above is optical.
Can anyone tell if we can take videos from this camera ? if yes, how is the quality of the videos ?
