The good: Great picture quality; fast shutter speed; broad manual feature set.

The bad: Chunky appearance; slow shot-to-shot time with the onboard flash enabled.

The bottom line: The Canon PowerShot A590 IS's manual exposure controls and surprisingly sharp pictures make it a great choice for almost anyone looking for a sub-$200 shooter.

Specs: Digital camera type: Compact; Resolution: 8 megapixels; Optical zoom: 4 x  See full specs >>
