Budget Digital Camera Test at DPReview

Posted on Nov 28, 2008 04:02:00 PM | Filed under: Budget, Powershot, A590 IS, Canon

Canon A590 ISDPReview have just reviewed the new Canon Powershot A590 IS in a group test with nine other budget cameras. The A590 IS features an 8 megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom lens, 2.5″ screen, face detection focus, and takes AA batteries - with full manual controls, support for optional lens accessories, and optical image stabilisation. The A590 is available for £103 making it the cheapest Canon available with optical image stabilisation.


“If you are looking for a easy point and shoot camera - or take a lot of pictures in the evening with flash - the A590 IS certainly would not be high on our list of recommendations. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for a camera with extensive photographic control that’ll grant you to learn about the craft of picture taking without breaking the bank, this is an absolute bargain.”

Pentax Optio E50Cameras.co.uk have reviewed the budget Pentax Optio E50 - it features an 8 megapixel sensor, a 3x optical zoom lens, a 2.4″ screen, and takes AA batteries. The E50 is available for £59:


“This is a cheap digital camera, but I’m not convinced there is a great deal of value for money. My tests photos suffered from noise and a general lack of clarity and sharpness. There are other cheaper cameras out there that I would much prefer over this one.”
