Canon PowerShot A590 Digital Camera
Canon's PowerShot A590 delivers some adjustable manual-like features in a bulky device too big for most front pockets.
Canon’s 8-megapixel PowerShot A590 IS is one of the few AA-powered cameras that gives shooters control of focus distance, flash strength, and shutter speed while maintaining a full suite of automatic features.
It also auto-adjusts for face recognition and moving subjects, and features a 4x optical zoom.
