Description — Canon PowerShot A2500
The Canon PowerShot A2500 is a compact point-and-shoot built around a 1/2.3-inch, 16MP sensor, delivering a maximum still resolution of 4608x3456 pixels. The camera's ISO 100–1600 range provides workable sensitivity across everyday shooting scenarios. On the rear, a 2.7-inch LCD with 230,000 dots of resolution handles both framing and image review.
Autofocus uses a contrast detection system with a 9-point configuration for reliable subject locking. Video capture tops out at 720p at 30fps, suitable for casual recording. Storage is handled by SD and SDHC cards, and connectivity includes USB for wired transfers — there is no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB-C.
The camera body weighs just 135g, and the rechargeable lithium-ion battery keeps it ready to go. It's worth noting that the A2500 has no image stabilization of any type, and no weather sealing, so it's best suited to calm, dry shooting conditions.
