I haven't tried the A1000. The image quality of the A590 is very good for a compact camera. The A590 has manual controls, aperture priority, and shutter priority auto settings. I think this is an advantage.

The "IS" is part of the full name for the A1000IS and A590IS, but sometimes people just leave it out. There are not IS and non-IS versions of the A1000[IS] and A590[IS]. Canon's including it into the formal names is useful to distinguish them from some models that lack[ed] IS. For example the earlier A540 lacked IS. The current economy model, the A480, lacks IS.

The "IS" stands for "image stabilization". I think that's what they were asking about.

Well the D5100 cost more so it is a better camera. The main thing is the D5100 use the D7000 sensor, which is best in high ISO and lowlight over any other APS-C dslr (that include any canon like the T3i 60d, even 7D which all used the same old sensor). It has a swivel screen over the D3100. It is a little faster in continuous shooting at 4 fps vs 3 of the D3100, not really a big deal. Otherwise from the major reason here it is the same in a lot on most other specs.http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond5100/page22.asp

Both are nice cameras. I own a700 and a900, bought the a99, difficult to get used to. Totally different beast. If you get one, do not get rid of the 700 until you are convinced. Joe

Good question! Sony has made new versions that are cheaper and better cameras around the same price. Check out the A6000, and a5000.

Here's another camera in the same price range you might consider --- Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8K 8MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) As you can see it's similar to the A590 in several respects, but it has a better LCD and more video modes -- http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras;=canon_a590is%2Cpanasonic_dmclz8&show;=all

For certain the Canon A1100IS handles 32 Gbyte SD Memory Cards, that's what I'm using. I also want to affirm that it will handle 64 Gbyte SD Memory cards but can't verify due to dropping my first AS1100IS into Sweetwater River and I'm sure that my 64 GByte card was in that camera. Couldn't fish it out in hopes of recovering the memory card. My wife also has a Canon AS1100IS, that's three of them we have purchased and are pleased with the results. I've had good experience repairing the A1100IS because Canon has a helpful U.S. parts department.

You're right, the four-cell PowerShots generally are exceptionally nice cameras. I liked my A70 a lot but like so many others it died young. Compared to these earlier designs, the A590 may "deliver value" but it just seems unpleasantly cheap and slick. It also lacks several nice features such as the Lumix LZ8's 5x zoom range, 230K dot LCD and 30fps video modes -- but it has the viewfinder, high speed USB and manual focus the LZ8 lacks. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras;=canon_a590is%2Cpanasonic_dmclz8&show;=all

I Have upgraded from D300. I find the D=600 to be a good camera with full frame capability which is what I wanted to get. I would recommend it.

I have searched online for the same comparison b4 i bought both of the two. The thing is, because these two cameras have a lot of features, it takes a while to write or make a video to fully compare the two cameras. I did find some that tried to compare the two camers, but the reviews seemed bias to me. Overall, i like the Fuji over the Canon, but i like the Canons zoom over fuji's. One can still get the same results as the other.

I have this camera. It is the second best camera I have ever had (the best was a video-camera combo by Canon - lot more expensive),but this camera take great photos of pets, kids, evening, indoors, night - no problem anywhere and the memory card is removable so you can get unlimited Gigs of a good photo memory card.I was very happy to see that Canon still makes these, however, the selling price is the same today as I paid for this camera over 5 years ago so I would have concerns about the repair (if needed) if they d/c this model.

There is no comparison between D3100 or even D5100 and the D600. I had the D5100 before and I upgraded to the D600. It is just marvelous... except that little dirt problem, I had to return it for cleaning up at Nikon, I hope I won't have to do it very often.

They seem to be essentially the same camera and will take photos of similar quality. I would be guided by price...buy whichever one you can get at the best price.

I don't own the Sony, so I can't speak to the A6000. I absolutely love the E-M10 for a few reasons: 1. The lens is the most important part of the camera kit. The Micro 43 standard also includes Panasonic, so I have two camera companies developing compatible lens. I often switch between makes (along with Sigma) depending on the situation. 2. The M10 sensor isn't as large as the full frame a6000, but that has not kept kept me from getting superb sharpness, particularly with the Oly 75mm. The smaller sensor also generally allows for a smaller camera and lens than the a full frame equivalent, something I'd think is important to a travel journalist (check out the GM1!). I moved from a Nikon APS-C SLR and there might have been a time when I'd have played it safe and gone full frame, but we're a few generations along on M43 sensors now and I'm very glad I settled on M43. 3. The Micro 43 allows for inexpensive backup bodies like the E-PM2 or E-PL5 (both use the same battery and charger which is HUGE). Both use an almost identical sensor to the M10, just with fewer manual controls. 4. The dual wheel controls of the M10 are fantastic when shooting manually. 5. Both cameras have focus peaking which allows you to use inexpensive (and durable) old manual focus lens. If that interests you, it's probably worth comparing both FP systems. 6. Panasonic is the leader in video, but the one time I shot video with the M10, the 3 axis stabilization did an amazing job of steadying the shot. I swear it's witchcraft of some sort. Truth is you'll get superb results with either camera. I'd take a hard look at the lens catalog for both cameras and see if that tips you one way or the other.

There are many a7000 rumors and I hope it happens as I really want the a6000 but with the touch-screen of the a5100 to help touch focus shots. Without the touch screen it feels incomplete. I don't want to go to the full frame size of the a7r as I already own a Canon 6D so need a good street walk around camera. The size and grip of the a6000 is perfect for me. The 5100 feels like a toy and doesn't have the great EVF.

The D5000 is a very good camera. If you want a full frame the D600 is great. What you gain, in my opinion, is better high ISO performance. The picture quality is mainly up to uou no matter what camera upu use. If I were you, I wouldn't spend much time researching and agonizing over it. If you want higher ISO performance, the D600 is a good choice. Just buy it. Then, go out and take lots of pictures. Have fun!
