Great value for money, one of the best offers.

This machine "draws" well on its 10 megapixels, making it possible for the "cheap" to have a full-fledged - not in functions, but as pictures - digital camera, which also has impeccable automation, in spite of the "nasty things" written in the shortcomings. In point of fact, despite the "nasty things" written in the shortcomings. And which will shoot, shoot, and shoot some more, in contrast to the same phone, which will immediately run out of the remaining half of the charge the moment it is used.
We have been using it for over 5 years, yet we still find ourselves perplexed by DSLR cameras. It's like, okay, they shoot more seriously and a lot more, but why is it for an everyday guy walking down the street?
The only thing that makes me sad is that they are no longer making this excellent fotik. A kind of dark side to modern marketing that features a rapid succession of different models being introduced one after the other. What's the point if it's going to be replaced by a soap dish with the next model number and a sensor that has an unneeded 16-20 megapixels?

Pros

It is true that the low price at the time did not in any way influence the quality of the photographs, despite the fact that it was low at the time. Especially the lack of wholesale products being available. When there is medium or low light, the blinking of the red indicator will alert you to the presence of the stabilizer. Video is likewise typical; however, the high bitrate and quality of the video (in addition to the minutes of recording time, which is immediately measured in gigabytes:)) is possibly a characteristic that is shared by many Canon products. The design is occasionally criticized unjustifiably, but in spite of a certain amount of childishness, it is nevertheless beautifully laconic and, in general, neat. Yes, and the presence of multiple skin tones at the same time is an added bonus. For example, you could give a present to a white lady, a black man, and blue and red to the other people. The very same PowerShot A590 - that's where the horror-horror in comparison with, everything is round, as if from the 60s, yet it shines nicely. A workable execution of the super macro mode. It is not difficult to scan film if you have the necessary skills. Or the intricate patterns on bills. It should go without saying that it is portable and lightweight. AA batteries, which are helpful for when you are traveling; if the charge ran out, you can acquire the same ones from a flashlight or buy them in a passing selmag and take a photo further on. There is no issue of instant exhaustion and lack of voltage or battery power, everything is fine, and for quite a long time, three hundred photos on a very average battery is a common thing. This is in contrast to earlier Canon digital cameras, which suffered from these issues. Downloading the CHDK program is an option for individuals who are interested in adjusting the manual settings of their camera but do not wish to invest in an advanced model. Everything is operational when stored on a flash drive.

Cons

All of the drawbacks are a logical consequence of the cheap price niche, including the straightforward design and the absence of a variety of stabilizers, wheels, touch displays, and other flash shoes. This applies to a whole other category and price point for electronic products. In addition, there is a straightforward screen and a sluggish transfer to a computer via a USB cable, which takes exactly one megabyte per second and no more. While the images take up less than 3 megabytes each. If you look at an image at its full size, pixel by pixel, you'll notice that each microscopic detail is smeared into a square of either 2 * 2 or 3 * 3 pixels; this means that the real resolution is significantly lower than the nominal 10 megapixels. But let us not forget that it is a member of the category of soap dishes that speak for themselves. This is not a single-lens reflex camera, in which each pixel is captured by a lens that is fixed. ISO noise is the same understandable consequence of a matrix of a normal digital camera's format 1/2.3, but I have to note that it is not the smallest (for the same A590, it turns out to be even less - 1/2.5). As a consequence of this, even a low-cost smartphone with only 5 megapixels that runs on Android would produce images with the same level of noise and resolution while shooting in normal average home lighting. I was even taken aback by this fact. It's the same thing as a tablet. It is a proven truth that the cameras found in modern mobile phones are on par with those found in digital cameras. If you want to take images that are more impressive than those taken with a smartphone, you will need to go to the side, where advanced compacts, DSLRs, and mirrorless cameras reign supreme. just don't even bother trying.
