Canon Elph Family Tree

I had a A590IS for some time. As a professional photographer, I met many cameras, including this one. This article aims to show the advantages of this camera and disadvantages to help you decide if it will work for you. The auto modes work as it should, I will focus the advanced modes. Therefore, this is what I like about this toy:

– It's compact, lightweight, much smaller than other models in the PowerShot A series
– The image stabilization works perfectly. I can take great pictures indoors without a flashing
– Great image quality, with many controls on the contrast, saturation and sharpness settings.
– It is fast, even compared with my DSLR. No consumption of many devices come with time delay of the shutter so low, and pre-discussion with miracles Manual focus in terms of speed.
– The manual modes. Job settings and shutter-priority high, sometimes I forget who is not a digital SLR.
– Optical viewfinder. Very useful in cases of very bright in the sun not see anything on the LCD screen or save the battery if necessary.
– The batteries seem to last longer than previous PowerShot A series, announced technical specifications for 500 shots with rechargeable NiMH batteries. Another good thing is that this model works in the common AA batteries that are found everywhere, so they no longer have to worry about finding certain types of property.

Like all devices I've seen, the Canon comes with its drawbacks. Here are some I found, and I hope Canon care them well in the near future.

– Lower the screen resolution. The LCD is very good for framing shots and viewing the menu, but I would not mind a higher resolution.
– Histogram Direct is only available when viewing a photo, but not when it really take that shot. There are unofficial software that implements this role and other manufacturers have already implemented this model in similar. Hopefully this will not be long before Canon does too.
– The video function is horrible. You can not use the optical zoom while recording, compression method is inefficient, so that video files tend to be large.

My overall impression of the device picture is good. You get what you pay for. He has a great set of features that make it useful for casual shooter and the most advanced photographer.

Getting the perfect camera, is never an easy thing, especially with the way digital technology is constantly changing. Fortunately, there are plenty of helpful websites online, that can narrow down your search and help you find the camera with all the features important to you.
