    • Cannon PowerShot A2500 is a very nice camera with choices
Color: Red
The Cannon POWER SHOT A2500 is advertised as a POINT AND SHOOT so I was researching the camera for my own needs. I had a Panasonic HM-TA2 that was great for simple point and shoot shots but this winter it was destroyed in an accidental crushing ( don't ask ). The Panasonic was basically Point and shoot with not much more to change, only a few options, it's only down fall was the battery is not replaceable. I wanted to find an inexpensive POINT AND SHOOT and this camera caught my eye. You really need to look at what they are saying or even look at the USER MANUAL to understand this camera. POINT AND SHOOT - Yes, in AUTO MODE, this is a very good point and shoot camera. There is little you need to do but aim the camera. Even movie mode has a button just for filming movies and yes, point and shoot movies. The camera has an actual 5 power OPTICAL zoom and then it can go up to 15 power DIGITALLY. The quality is good with the optical zoom and the digital zoom can be from good to not the best but remember it all depends on light conditions, distance and if you zoom the picture up, you need to be absolutely STILL, no shaking or movements. BUT if you want a POINT AND SHOOT that you can address some of the picture processes, this one allows you to make changes as well, this is where the USER MANUAL will become very useful. This camera allows different settings from setting the telephoto lens, self timer timing to different optic image results. In all honesty, this is a lot of camera, for the price, for a point and shoot and with the option to be able to adjust your camera to your needs blows away any basic point and shoot camera. The camera itself is very small and when off, the lens will stow away into the body automatically and you can easily place it in your pocket. The weight of the camera is light so you are not uncomfortable lugging around a heavy camera, a plus if you are on vacation. I like the fact that the battery is replaceable, allowing the use of extra batteries and the memory cards can be exchanged with extreme ease. Ok, what you get, you get the camera in a box, a battery charger and a battery. You may think it is strange that the memory card is not included, but there are too many choices out there to select a good memory card and be clear on this, there is NO MEMORY built into the camera. YOU MUST PURCHASE A MEMORY CARD TO TAKE A SINGLE SHOT. There are several class of memory cards and unless you plan to use the rapid fire picture taking ( 10 shots rapid fire ), a class 4 would do. Other wise and keeping budding movie directors in mind, class 10 would be a great choice for MOVIE recording. You also do not get any cords. This one I didn't really understand. There are two cords you might need. One to connect the camera to the computer, and if you care to, one to connect the camera to the TV. You also do not get an outside power adaptor but there is a place on the cam to plug one in. The camera is interesting in low light shots and the cam has a small flash built in good for close shots. There is an optional HIGH POWER FLASH available to buy if you feel you need that kind of distance from a flash unit. All in all before you run out and buy all the accessories that you may not need, use the camera and get used to it and then determine what you need. You will need to download the user manual from the Cannon site and then spend time learning how to use the options. Again, if all you want is a good point and shoot, you'll hardly ever look at the User Manual but if you want to play with the options, the USER MANUAL is your friend. Look for the best price but also consider the accessories you need to get just to make the camera functional and buy the best deal. I found a site where the camera was dirt cheap but the accessories boost the price way too high. Whether you POINT AND SHOOT or want to adjust your camera to the shots, this camera can help you with your shots. Also look at the illustrations on UTUBE for a better idea. also, search the web for the Canon A2500 REVIEWs where individuals and review agencies have actually taken the camera out to see what it will do. Where they show pictures that this came has taken, they all look GREAT! For those coming from a camera like I had, this one would seem a bit over board for Point and Shoot but after you take a few shots in AUTO mode, it is as easy as pushing the button. It is a nice choice for a simple camera and a good choice for a starter camera for those who like to make adjustments or are new to the camera field. There are other cameras out there, My review is only about the Canon PowerShot A2500. This review was made on 03 27 2014 ... show more

    • Powershot A2500
Color: Black
i bought the powershot for a class reunion weekend and it excelled! it gave me several hundred of the nicest photos i've ever taken and i cant wait to take it out and take some more photos! a couple videos too that also was very easy to do. what i really like about the powershot is you can SEE the photos right as you take it, so say one was blurry due to new user error. it shows you the photo and you can say right away " nope try again" that was VERY handy along with showing people thier photos in case they wanted a try #2. same with erasing very easy. before i bought this i knew nothing about Digital cameras, the last one i had was a film camera ten years ago. so this was my first digital camera purchase, and what a brilliant purchase it was, the amazon reviews and basic instructions were enough to know what i need and how use it, you must have a photo memory card ( not sent with the camera so when it says do you want the package YES you do!) and you must charge the battery beforehand and check it, if you are away from home make sure you take the battery charger and if you've used it alot check the battery i forgot to do that and the third night i couldnt take photos. it warned me.. i just thought.. nah.. it will be okay. ( nope but once it charged it was fine) but not only was it easy for me to take clear wonderful photos of my reunion weekend, it was easy for my friends taking photos with it too to just use it as well. the automatic sensing flash was nice too. the digital uploads of the photos ( with separate purchase of the cable) also could not have been easier. i also liked the little bag that came with the package. it had a nice belt clip. also if i didnt have a belt loop it was very easy to tuck in my pocket and not have to schlump a large camera and case along. it was dropped by accident on a hardwood floor and kept on going with no problems. everybody went oh no! and i was like nope! its good! say cheese! the price couldnt have been nicer also.. very pleased with my new Canon Powershot! ... show more

    • Overall fantastic, with one aggravating flaw
Color: Red
We purchased this for our 10-year-old daughter and have been mostly very happy with this camera. It's compact, takes decent photos and is easy to use. The red is nice, and helps us distinguish this camera easily from our other, older silver Canon. I do have one beef, and for our family it's significant: Our other camera was MIA because of a recent house move, so we took this with us as our "beach camera" for our vacation. Today I downloaded the 300 or so photos and discovered that the date stamp feature was on. Every photo has a prominent, bright yellow/orange date stamp in the corner. Apparently, there is no way to remove this once the photo has been taken, so we will have to crop the stamp out or carefully photoshop it out of any photos we want to use without it -- which would be every good photo coming out the entire batch. According to the manual and every online resource we can find, these are the only ways to remove the stamp. We often use photos from our vacation for holiday cards and a photo calendar for family members. I am really frustrated that some beautiful shots are marred by this obnoxious stamp. We are pretty certain that the factory default may be for the date stamp to be on because we don't remember setting it and have never used this feature on any of the half dozen digital cameras we've owned -- precisely because we find the stamps to be unnecessary and ugly. The image display when you take the photo doesn't show the stamp, though it does show on the image review. Honestly, I didn't really notice it on the tiny display and even when I did, I didn't think it would be permanently integrated into the file. ... show more

    • Good camera for the price
Color: Red
This is my 6th point and shoot (P&S) camera in 9 years, ranging in price from $200-$300. I have had 1 Bell & Howell, 3 Nikons and this is my 2nd Canon P&S camera. The last 2 P&S cameras I had I literally wore out by taking so many pictures. I bought this as a second camera for my husband (who doesn't usually take pictures) to use when he goes hunting with my son. I chose a Canon because I have a Canon DSLR and love it. I also wanted an inexpensive camera, because I thought it would sit on the shelf for most of the year. Of course it did not come with a memory card, as I have yet to buy any camera that does. To test this camera, after shooting indoors for a bit, I took it to the park. Luckily, what started out as a sunny day turned cloudy, allowing me to test the camera in different lighting. This is a typical low priced P&S camera. Like all P&S cameras, this one performs best in bright, outdoor lighting. However, the ease of use and quality of pictures for the small price tag makes this a good buy. This is one of the better P&S cameras I have had. Although no instruction manual was in the box (other than the very basics), it was easy to figure out how to manually set this camera, which is a must for me. I liked the fact that it has a PROGRAM setting, which allows me to set a program manually. Even if I switch to another setting, it saves my manual settings, allowing me to switch back and forth between settings. That was great when I tested it, because the lighting went from sunny to cloudy and back again. I could easily switch from AUTO to LANDSCAPE to PROGRAM (my manually programmed settings) and back, depending on lighting and activity, all while holding my 6 month old. The pictures I took while holding my baby (who was trying to grab the camera) of my 4 other children who were riding a moving train turned out surprisingly good. I also manually adjusted the ISO to 1600 and took some shots while holding my squirming baby, and the pictures were not as noisy as I thought they would be. This is a great camera for the price. I would definitely recommend it for anyone, especially those who are ready to do some manual adjustments to get better pictures, but not ready to spend a lot of money. I am glad I bought this camera, and I am happy because I think I will actually use it more than I originally thought! ... show more

    • Camera falls short, but Amazon's customer service is outstanding
Color: Silver
I bought this camera for my son for his 12th birthday because of the price and the fact that I have an older model Canon Powershot that I love. I was disappointed when I received the camera. It is very lightweight, to the point of feeling very cheap. My son really liked it though, very easy to use. The wrist strap that comes with the camera is not adjustable so it does not tighten on your wrist. We were in a cave in Colorado three days after he received it and he was taking a picture and the camera slipped out of his hand and since the wrist strap was not tightened on his wrist, it fell to the rock floor and broke. I called Canon to see about getting it repaired. It was a minimum $89 plus shipping to and from. The camera cost me $85 including shipping thru Amazon. Obviously this was no one's fault but my son's (although obviously he did not intend to drop it) but I don't know why a reputable company like Canon would cut such a cheap corner on their wrist strap and not make it adjustable. I called Amazon to see if by any chance they would let me purchase a new one a a reduced cost, not expecting them to let me, and understandably so. The Amazon rep sent me a brand new camera with free shipping and even sent a pre-paid UPS label to return the broken camera. I have always been so impressed with Amazon's customer service. The camera is alright, takes good pictures, but definitely buy a better wrist strap for it. But so grateful to Amazon for replacing this for us! ... show more

My wife and I love this little camera. It takes super pictures and it so easy to use a 4th grader would know how to use it. I like that it fits in the palm of your hand, the battery lasts and lasts, the videos I took were crisp and sharp, and the price was the best deal in town. It is perfect for any occasion, and the accessory transfer cable not only acts as a charger, but allows me to transfer my pictures to my photo program without having to open the camera and remove the SD card. Not fancy, but practical for the price. ... show more

    • Great little camera
Color: Red
I would start by saying this is a very good "cheap" camera. It is ideal for novice users, or anyone who wants good vacation shots and is not a snob about cameras. It takes very high quality pictures and 720P HD video and is very easy and intuitive. It has nice big screen to look at picture and video you have taken and it interface with your pad or PC via USB or by SD card. The camera requires, but does not come with an SD card. I bought the 64gb card and it is my understanding this is the maximum this camera can use. It has 5x zoom which is not awesome, but adequate for the casual user. Underwater housings are also available for this camera. For the price, ($69.00 using Amazon Prime) you cannot do better. This is vastly superior to my previous powershot. It is an excellent bang for your buck and I love the size and quality for average use. ... show more

    • What I expected, what I did not get, and why I am fustrated
Color: Red
My Canon Powershot camera was $59. I needed a cheap camera fast and I got mine within two days. The charger plugged directly into the wall with a place for the battery to sit. So far so good. But unlike all other cameras I have bought, it did not even come with a starter memory card. When I took a picture, it told me "Cannot Record." And there was no USB cable to connect to my computer either. That's a new one for me too. I repeat there is no memory card and no USB cord, so you can neither take a picture nor view it. But it did say in the book that there was a "*power cord,"(asterisk included) written in smaller font on the starter page under Package Contents. But there was no such thing. Then under the first step, "Charging the Battery, " it tells you to, "Plug the power cord into the charger, then plug the other end into a power outlet." I was able to charge my battery without this power cord. It was only by using a powerful light that I could see that on the back of my battery charger was the model number inscribed as CB-2LF, and I did not need this power charger. Such needless aggravation. I have a wee website in which I am Amazon affiliate and I was going to write a review. But it looks like that will have to wait until the add-ons I ordered today come in. So much for trusting Amazon to give me the full low-down. It should come with a huge caution sign for buyers, especially at this price. These things do add up. How can you make a price/feature comparison if you have to calculate so many variables? Furthermore, a camera at this price, might be for a gift, and the gift recipient would be pretty bummed if they had to order additional items just to make the Canon Powershot A2500 work. The bigger problem will be when I get the memory card and the proper USB cord, what happens if I don't like the picture of the camera or how it functions? Will the aftermarket companies allow me to send back their products and get a refund that includes the shipping cost? It would have been so much more convenient for Canon to sell a complete package. I guess learned my lesson. The product description on Amazon gave the features of the camera. But it did not list what came in the box. I should have read through each review and customer Q & A to glean what was still needed to make this camera fully operable. If this were a car it would be missing its steering wheel, and other car stuff, which I can't think of the analogies, because I am so frustrated. But there are three nice things I can tell you: The cherry red is easy to spot in a dark purse and it is very, very light weight. And one kind person on this site Ricky Lorda, answered my question about the USB from the ask customer section of this page, saying that it did come with a USB cord (although as I mentioned, mine did not), and that was very nice of him to give me his quick response. ... show more
