I haven't tried the A1000. The image quality of the A590 is very good for a compact camera. The A590 has manual controls, aperture priority, and shutter priority auto settings. I think this is an advantage.

The "IS" is part of the full name for the A1000IS and A590IS, but sometimes people just leave it out. There are not IS and non-IS versions of the A1000[IS] and A590[IS]. Canon's including it into the formal names is useful to distinguish them from some models that lack[ed] IS. For example the earlier A540 lacked IS. The current economy model, the A480, lacks IS.

The "IS" stands for "image stabilization". I think that's what they were asking about.

yes, the Canon PowerShot A1300 has an optical viewfinder, as well as the LCD screen, so you can line-up your shots either way you prefer. And, the viewfinder "zooms" with the optical zoom lens on the camera.

Hey Fish! Consumer Reports gives the A590 IS a "Best Buy" rating. It's the only "Best Buy" awarded out of 189 "point and shoot" cameras they've tested. I've use their "Best Buy" advice to purchase everything from batteries to BMWs. They've never given me a bum steer.

Who knows, I also see a lot of complaints about the newer Powershots. Maybe Canon is cramming too many megapixels in their newer cameras. My cousin owns the SD940is and loves it. I own the SD1100is and I can't complain about the pictures it takes. I would take some of those negative complaints with a grain of salt though. I think as long as you don't expect DSLR quality prints out of a Powershot then you'll be fine. I can't imagine giving a Powershot a 1 star review, maybe if it was dead on arrival or the battery exploded inside the camera. Maybe Canon is resting on its laurels a bit. Do some research before you buy a camera to avoid disappointment.

Nicon P600 is the best camera I have ever owned. Clearer, sharp pictures, unending Zoom and a little smaller than Canon EOS Rebel. I recommend 100%. The P610 is a lot more expensive, with nothing to add. You will be very happy.

I just realized that you're comparing the older SX100 - not the newer SX110 - to the SX120. So my points above is worthless. It only compares the 110 to the 120.You are correct, I only tried that on Canon's. Canon cameras that use their own proprietary battery has a battery meter, and the ones using AA does not.Another upgrade from the SX110 is that you can see more thumbnails at a time.

hello... this camera is a wonderful camera, but it's more like my pocket camera. I also own a Canon SX30IS which is a superb camera, not quite the DSLR but comes pretty close. I love Canon as a brand overall and also the fact that you can swipe memory cards and keep the same pictures regardless of which camera you took them with. Both of them are great cameras and are capable of taking wonderful pictures, it's pretty hard for me to say which one is my favorite. Again, it's a personal choice. I can't give you more advice since i'm a beginner in picture taking, but these 2 have made it pretty easy to get on my hobby. Good luck with your new purchase! hello... this camera is a wonderful camera, but it's more like my pocket camera.

I don't own the Sony, so I can't speak to the A6000. I absolutely love the E-M10 for a few reasons: 1. The lens is the most important part of the camera kit. The Micro 43 standard also includes Panasonic, so I have two camera companies developing compatible lens. I often switch between makes (along with Sigma) depending on the situation. 2. The M10 sensor isn't as large as the full frame a6000, but that has not kept kept me from getting superb sharpness, particularly with the Oly 75mm. The smaller sensor also generally allows for a smaller camera and lens than the a full frame equivalent, something I'd think is important to a travel journalist (check out the GM1!). I moved from a Nikon APS-C SLR and there might have been a time when I'd have played it safe and gone full frame, but we're a few generations along on M43 sensors now and I'm very glad I settled on M43. 3. The Micro 43 allows for inexpensive backup bodies like the E-PM2 or E-PL5 (both use the same battery and charger which is HUGE). Both use an almost identical sensor to the M10, just with fewer manual controls. 4. The dual wheel controls of the M10 are fantastic when shooting manually. 5. Both cameras have focus peaking which allows you to use inexpensive (and durable) old manual focus lens. If that interests you, it's probably worth comparing both FP systems. 6. Panasonic is the leader in video, but the one time I shot video with the M10, the 3 axis stabilization did an amazing job of steadying the shot. I swear it's witchcraft of some sort. Truth is you'll get superb results with either camera. I'd take a hard look at the lens catalog for both cameras and see if that tips you one way or the other.

Dar, I think the E510 is a great camera. I also have a E500 which is also a good camera, but what makes the E510 better in my book is the in camera stabilization. I think if you get the 14-42 and the 40-150 mm lens you can't go wrong with the 510. I was at my Grandson's birthday party today and took about 130 pictures and I'll be put some on his webpage " oldpalmerton.com " by the end of Sunday ( 24 Feb. 08). You can check out the type of pictures you can take with the E510 and a 40-150 lens. Good luck with what ever camera you do get. Greg

Well the D5100 cost more so it is a better camera. The main thing is the D5100 use the D7000 sensor, which is best in high ISO and lowlight over any other APS-C dslr (that include any canon like the T3i 60d, even 7D which all used the same old sensor). It has a swivel screen over the D3100. It is a little faster in continuous shooting at 4 fps vs 3 of the D3100, not really a big deal. Otherwise from the major reason here it is the same in a lot on most other specs.http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond5100/page22.asp

Hi Heirloom Tomato,Thanks for sharing your experience with the Canon Powershot S90 camera with me. I haven't bought any camera yet so now it will be easier to make that decision.Thanks,Isabel

The Canon Powershot A1400 is very easy and FUN to use - my wife loved using it on our trip to Italy this summer, and she took great photos with it! I highly recommend it, especially for the value for $$$ ! Justin McCarthy

Im really not sure but my thought is there is a newer model the a58 and then some others since. i do think it is an overlooked gem.

I agree with Dan. I don't know the a6000, but the EM5 worths every cent. For example, the IS is outstanding. In my tests, it gives me 2 full stops meaning that I can shot with the 40-150 @150, at 1/80 handheld, which is much to say. I have read that the sensor has 14 stops of dynamic range. I don't know if this is true, but I'm certainly pleased with the increased range that now I can count on, in comparison with cameras that I had before.

You're right, the four-cell PowerShots generally are exceptionally nice cameras. I liked my A70 a lot but like so many others it died young. Compared to these earlier designs, the A590 may "deliver value" but it just seems unpleasantly cheap and slick. It also lacks several nice features such as the Lumix LZ8's 5x zoom range, 230K dot LCD and 30fps video modes -- but it has the viewfinder, high speed USB and manual focus the LZ8 lacks. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras;=canon_a590is%2Cpanasonic_dmclz8&show;=all

Hello, This is my 1st Sony camera. I am not sure what the difference is. But, I can say the Sony A77 has been wonderful. Very glad with my purchase.
