Canon A580/A590

[bascom]

The new A580 and A590 don't seem like big changes from the A560 and 570. Here is how I see it:

Pros
Motion Detection Technology may be a good feature if it works.
Easy Mode sounds useful for beginners.
Low price seems like a great value for point and shoots.

Maybe
Not sure about the new control dial.

Cons
LCD's still only have 115k.

I don't see any real improvement in any of the 3 A cameras.

The A470 loses the 4x zoom and the optical viewfinder that the A460 had.
The A580 and A590 are almost identical to the A560 and 570.
The A590 comes in a "cool" black color, though (sigh).

I agree. These are uninspired improvements.

I would rather have an A720 over these.
