Canon PowerShot A590 IS

Review

The good: Great picture quality; fast shutter speed; broad manual feature set.

The bad: Chunky appearance; slow shot-to-shot time with the onboard flash enabled.

The bottom line: 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-Rs 12000 shooter.

Canon PowerShot A460

Review

The good: 4x zoom lens; optical viewfinder.

The bad: Very noisy images; awkward zoom rocker; no 30fps VGA movie mode.

The bottom line: With heavy image noise and merely decent performance, there are better budget cameras available than the Canon PowerShot A460.
