Strengths: Crystal Clear Video, High Zoom Capabilities, Sleek Design, Lightweight, Portable
Weaknesses:It's a bit pricey!
Overall Evaluation: This is an absolute MUST for everyone looking to get a new Camera! ...BUT, the price is a little to high in my opinion, I never would have got one if I never got mine for FREE!. Luckily a friend recommended this website to me before I went and bought one: **- www.cameras.justgetitfree.com - ** . I checked out the website, completed ONE simple offer and met the requirements to receive one for FREE, it arrived a month later in the post! It was also shown on BBC and CNN news!!

Strengths: The Features like Fireworks, Kids&Pets, Beach, Snow, Aquarium, Foliage, Sunset, Night Scene, Image Stabilizer, & Indoor Modes are a Huge Asset to have in a Camera for this Size & Price! Not to mention it also is an 8.0 Megapixel Camera. And to Top it off, it has Manual Modes as well. I absolutely love this Compact Camera. Highly Recommend!!!!
Weaknesses:The only weakness found thus far is Battery Useage... That's if you take alot of pictures like I do. But you can always buy a Power Adapter for it. Also, there are no easy modes for fast moving objects.
Overall Evaluation: A Great All-Around Family Camera. It's a Perfect Camera for almost any situation or scene, except Fast Moving Objects. Highly Recommended for People who have little to no experience with camera's.

Canon PowerShot A590 IS Point-and-Shoot Camera
For a beginner's camera, the PowerShot A590IS offers amazing image quality and superb stabilization.
My digital camera expertise begins and ends with this fact: I cannot resist the urge to photograph a couple of fuzzballs named Chuckie and Violet. I'm a classic novice point-and-shooter, and the crème de la crème of my snapshots find their way onto Flickr or Facebook.
