If you want a digital camera that has an incredible value with power packed features, consider investing in the Canon PowerShot A590IS. This digital camera is a great value for its amazing features
 
Canon Powershot A590IS digital cameras have an 8 MP resolution with a 4x digital zoom and a 2.5 inch 115,000 pixel LCD. This digital camera uses either a SD Memory Card, MultiMediaCard, MMC Plus Card, or a HC MMC Plus Card.  A movie mode of  640 x 480 at 20 fps will come in handy. All these features are squeezed into a 3.71"x 2.55" x 1.61" sized model with a weight of only 175g.

An even better reason to invest in the Canon PowerShot A590IS is the inexpensive power source of 2 AA batteries.  Some camera experts say that AA battery cameras are considered old technology.  However, you should consider the merits of AA batteries.

Proprietary batteries for digital cameras are more expensive than AA batteries and they are not interchangeable. If you own a camera using proprietary batteries, you have to charge the batteries before your photo session.  You don’t have the freedom to decide on the spur of the moment to use your camera.

To be practical, you won’t always use your digital camera every day.  Often proprietary batteries drain in a month or two between photo sessions just sitting in your camera bag.

Uploading Photos Can Drain Your Power Supply

If you are like many photographers, after transferring your digital files via USB to your computer . . . you will often forget to turn off the camera.  When you grab your camera for your next photo shoot, your batteries will be dead.

Having a camera’s battery die during computer transfers can, also,  be a source of error in camera memory sticks.  I lost a whole 4 days of vacation photos using this type of data transfer when my batteries died during upload.

AA Batteries Save The Day   

When I was a bridesmaid at a friend’s wedding, I wasn’t able to resist bringing along my Canon Powershot to the wedding. The bridesmaids were only given a standard very small pouch to go with their formal gowns with no pockets.  Only the very bare necessities would fit.

With a full camera battery, I started taking photos and videos with my trusty point and shoot. I got a lot of interesting shots during and after the wedding. Unfortunately when it came to the reception, my batteries died on me while I was about to take an incredible shot of the newlyweds.

AA battery spares were easy to find.  I was able to reload and continue photographing the event.  With a proprietary camera I would have been out of luck.

Invest in a Canon Powershot A590IS digital camera while stocking your camera bag with conventional AA battery spares (ENERGIZER) and rechargeable AA Batteries (Sanyo, Sony, Duracell). The beauty of using AA batteries is that if the batteries die on you, you can always buy fully charged battery spares that are cheap and at the same time readily accessible almost anywhere in the world. You will never be left stranded without adequate power.
