Review Summary It's slow and unglamorous, but the Canon PowerShot A580 captures good pictures at a low price. 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. Aside from a couple performance quibbles, the Canon PowerShot A1100 IS provides a good point-and-shoot experience with great pictures as a result. Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality. The Canon PowerShot A2000 IS is lean on features beyond its stabilized 6x zoom lens, but it takes great photos and is easy to use.
