Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Product Description Leave her speechless with this exquisite GIA-certified radiant-cut diamond solitaire engagement ring. The 3.23 carat rectangular radiant cut diamond is mounted in a raised four-prong setting of gleaming platinum, with prong tips that are specially shaped to hug the blocked corners of this magnificent cut. The stone is beautifully proportioned and mounted lengthwise to the finger, centered on a gleaming platinum band.
This is an exceptional diamond, with tremendous brilliance and fire. With a rare color grading of E, it is considered colorless and is absolutely dazzling in the bright platinum setting. The diamond has a minimum clarity of VVS2, meaning there are tiny inclusions that are very difficult to see by an experienced jeweler using 10X magnification, and impossible to see with the unaided eye. Diamonds with a clarity of VVS2 are very rare. The diamond's rectangular radiant cut is quite dramatic. It combines the step-cutting and trimmed corners of an emerald-cut diamond with some of the triangular faceting of the brilliant cut for an impressive sparkle.
The setting and band are crafted in polished platinum. Platinum is the most rare of all precious metals, and the ideal choice for showcasing diamonds because of its superior strength and durability. Unlike other jewelry metals, platinum will not chip easily or wear down over time, and it never needs replating. Its gorgeous white sheen is rich and luxurious and can be easily maintained with just an occasional cleaning and polish. Platinum has a substantial feel and is slightly heavier than gold. It's also hypoallergenic, and therefore perfectly suited to those with metal sensitivities.
This breathtaking engagement ring comes packaged in a luxury finished wood box and includes a GIA certificate.

Customer Reviews
Fantastic DSLR!! I bought this camera for my wife and she loves it. The camera has worked flawlessly, and takes amazing pictures. It was easy for her to figure out the basic features very quickly and she was taking fantastic pictures of our kids in minutes. I bought an 8 gb mem card with it thinking that she'd need a huge card since it has 12MP - she usually only uses about 2-3 gigs between downloads (500+ pics). Great starter camera, great price. Now to find a great deal on a zoom lens...
Great camera, zero effort at packing Marvelous feel to this body with the BG-E5 grip. It's now my only body, given its light weight, the quality of its images, and ease of use -- and I've had 30D's and a 1DsMKII. HOWEVER, I can't recommend ordering this type of equipment from Amazon if you care about decent, or at least adequate, packing. There was one strip of 3 deflated plastic air bags in the shipping box, providing no isolation of the camera box whatever. Being that the shipping box was twice the dimension of the camera box, there had to be some serious rattling going on during transit. I feel fortunate the camera is functioning. In the future, I would order an electric toothbrush from Amazon, but I'm through with ordering camera bodies and lenses from them.
Great solution for semi-professionals A great DSLR camera with numerous customising options! The 18-55 mm lens provided though is very very basic. I would strongly recommend buying an extra lens with higher capabilities.

Customer Reviews
Excellent compact camera I love this camera. Opened up, charged battery, put in 4gb SD card, and away I went. I've shot many pictures and videos with it. Videos are so easy and great. My daughter loves viewing them on the camera after taking them. Shots are great. The digital zoom is great as well. Fits in top pocket, take it to work even. Battery still shows full charge. In a nutshell, it's very compact, long on battery life, excellent pictures and video. A very versitle take along camera for anything. I've used it a lot more than my Nikon D40 DSLR. The Image Stabilization is the way to go on any camera now. Another big plus on this camera is the screen in back. Large, easy to see in any light, and has the scratch resistant covering. My cat knocked it off the kitchen island, dropped 4ft, and didn't phase it. Seems rugged too. I'm very happy with this camera, was definately a good purchase for price.
Great Camera for a Great Price! I bought this camera to carry when I didn't want to lug the Rebel XT around. I am not an expert by any means, but then neither are most people who buy a point and shoot. This is a very nice little camera that takes excellent photos in almost any condition. I even got some good shots of my sons soccer game. I bought this by the recommendation of Consumer Reports and I don't regret it one bit! It does a nice job in video mode as well.
Love this camera I was a bit skeptical, but after reading various reviews I decided on the Canon PowerShot SD1100IS. I am very happy with the power, convenience, and functionality of this camera that takes great photos.

Customer Reviews
A590IS I have had both the A570is and the A590is. They are nearly identical. I do like the video modes on the A570is and it is curious that Canon reduced the quality and FPS rating on the video. Other than that, they are both superb cameras for the money. As for the flash issue that people keep reporting about. I don't understand how people expect normal cheap alkalines to be adequate. If you want the batteries to last anytime at all and have a reasonable flash recharge you have to have HIGH capacity rechargeable NiMH batteries in the range of 2400mah. If you do that you will find this camera a pleasure. If you try to cheap out and get by on the crummy alkalines from the drugstore this camera is going to be MISERABLE. Please do yourself a favor and spend about $20 on a nice set of decent high capacity rechargables and a charger and its advisable to have at least four batteries that way you have an extra set of rechargables in your camera bag at all times. I did this on a trip to India with the A570 and with those high capacity batteries and the extra set on hand I never had problems with flash recharge time. Otherwise, this is an excellent camera. It takes nice, clean pictures most of the time. Of course, it is not up to DSLR levels but I dont' expect that. At this price though it really is a superb camera. I like mine alot.
Can't get more camera than this Real value for money camera. A light, "small" compact that gives me some control on exposure when I'm too lazy to lug around the DSLR. Pros ---- 1. View finder - saves battery life 2. AA batteries - no extra camera specific charger; easy to find batteries in emergencies 3. quite small - still fits in a jacket/Bermudas pocket 4. Manual/Av/Tv controls 5. Cheap Cons ---- 1. Av does not blur background much - since sensor size, distance to lens is different from DSLRs, its effectively like 4 to 5x the aperture value. (ie. at widest of f2.6, its more like f13 or more.... )The background just does not blur out unless its quite far from the subject. 2. 35mm at widest and not 28mm which would be ideal.
Canon Digital I love this camera. Super easy to use and it does all I want it to. The price was excellent and free shipping made it even better. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone wanting there first digital cameraCanon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
