I haven't had this camera for long but so far I'm loving what I see. This is an upgrade for me from the olympus e500 8mp and what an improvement. At first I was going to get the comparable in price canon, but for 100 dollars more and 4mp less than the a590, I decided to go sony. I'm not a professional photographer by a long shot so I was looking for ease of use as well as good performance. This sony has all the bells and whistles you could hope for at the price. The tilting lcd screen and live view is just wonderful. Live view was something I didn't require, but now that I have it I don't think I could go back. I shoot a lot of nature macro and well lit alt models and so far, this camera has met and exceeded the expectations I had. The quality is adequate for my needs (web mostly) and the usual complaint of "soft images" with a sony isn't something I've ran into. I did crank up the ISO to 3200 to test it out and I do have some image blur and noise complaints there. My usual MO is ISO 100 in well lit areas so the noise/softness at high ISO settings isn't something that will hold me down. If you do a lot of night shooting, I don't recommend this camera. If you are a hobbyist considering a good transition from point and shoot to DSLR, I totally recommend this item. You won't be disappointed.
