Zoom in on Wider, Steadier Shots5x Optical Zoom with 28mm Wide-Angle lens delivers stunning imagesThe 5x Optical Zoom (35mm equivalent: 28–140mm) in the PowerShot A2500 digital camera delivers outstanding optical performance and versatility. It gives you a great range of potential images from a single location, which is perfect for sporting events and other occasions when your shooting stance is fixed, or times when moving in too close might disrupt the action you're trying to capture. The lens' 28mm wide-angle perspective puts more image in every frame for dynamic, exciting shots. A Smarter Camera Means Better PhotosSmart AUTOPhotographers of all levels appreciate a camera – especially a go-anywhere compact digital – that takes the hassle out of capturing beautiful images. The PowerShot A2500 gives you Smart AUTO – sophisticated Canon technology that makes getting that great shot as simple as pressing the shutter button. Smart AUTO automatically detects scenes by assessing various factors in both the background and the subject. Detected scenes are analyzed using 32 predefined shooting situations. The camera then makes optimal settings to ensure the best possible image capture when shooting still images. Smart AUTO also includes Advanced Subject Detection, which allows the camera to detect and track non-human moving subjects like animals and vehicles. With Smart AUTO, all you have to do is frame your shot and capture away.Shooting Modes/Special Scene Modes Smart AUTO The camera automatically selects the best shooting settings for optimal quality based on subjects and environmental factors to provide point-and-shoot simplicity. Program The camera automatically and intelligently selects the aperture/shutter speed combination based on the shooting conditions. Live View Control Enables Brightness, Color, and Tone adjustments to your images using easy-to-understand controls. Digital IS The camera digitally corrects image blur by analyzing the subject prior to choosing the best correction method. Portrait Brings the subject into focus while beautifully blurring the background. Face Self-timer The camera waits for a face to enter the frame before releasing the shutter. Low Light For high quality image capture in an amazing range of dimly lit situations. Fisheye Effect Now you can get the fisheye effect – a classic photographic distortion – without a fisheye lens. Miniature Effect Give images a miniature look with an effect that emphasizes perspective by blurring the top and bottom of the image. Toy Camera Effect Simulates photos taken with "toy" or pinhole cameras, darkening the image at the edges to create a vignette effect. Monochrome Choose from three single-tone effects: Black-and-White, Sepia, or Blue. Super Vivid Super Vivid intensifies existing hues, saturating the scene with bright colors. Poster Effect Poster Effect combines several similar shades into one color, turning subtle gradations into eye-catching, scene-popping contrasts. Snow Shoot clear snow scenes without darkened subjects or an unnatural bluish tint. Fireworks Create brilliant images of skyrocketing fireworks. Long Shutter Use to blur moving subjects for artistic effect, ideal for urban night photography. Movie Record video; unwanted scenes can be deleted in playback mode. Gorgeous HD Video From Your Still CameraShoot brilliant 720p HD videoUsing the pocket-sized PowerShot A2500, you can shoot high definition video anytime, anywhere. With a simple push of the dedicated movie button, you'll be able to instantly record every moment in motion. 720p HD video is smooth, vivid, and beautifully lifelike, making it an ideal way to capture special memories. In addition to being able to shoot 720p HD video at 25 frames per second, the PowerShot A2500 can also shoot 640 x 480 VGA video at 30* frames per second.*Actual frame rate is 29.97 fps.Dedicated movie button for easy video captureIt's never been easier to shoot videos with a PowerShot digital camera. To make shooting video as natural as snapping pictures, the PowerShot A2500 has a dedicated movie button. No need to plan ahead, no need to search through menus on the LCD screen; when you feel a moment would be best captured in 720p HD, simply press the button and recording begins. The camera is always ready to shoot stills or video whenever you want. Say Goodbye to BlurDigital IS reduces the effect of camera shake and subject movementDigital IS beats the blur that mars many shots by recognizing the main subject, then automatically applying the camera shake correction that best suits the situation. If the subject is a person, blur reduction processing is performed. For landscapes, cityscapes and other still scenes, the camera takes three quick successive shots and composes them into a single clear image. If the subject is moving, the camera takes three successive shots, then automatically saves the clearest image. A Charge that Lasts as Long as a MemoryNew ECO Mode helps reduce power consumption for longer battery lifeThe PowerShot A2500 takes energy conservation to the next level with ECO Mode, which provides more shots per single charge through LCD monitor and camera power management. ECO Mode can be activated via a dedicated button for easy power preservation when an outlet is unavailable or the moment is too exciting to put the camera down. ECO Mode quickly wakes the camera from sleep when a button is pressed so you won't miss the moment. When the fun with family and friends runs late into the evening, ECO Mode on the PowerShot A2500 makes sure your camera keeps up. More Ways to Get CreativeScene ModesScene Modes are fun, easy ways to give your shots a distinctly artistic feel without the need for any extra lenses and filters. Super Vivid heightens and saturates colors for eye-popping intensity. Poster Effect eliminates gradations between colors for an illustrative feel. Miniature Effect enhances perspective in a scene, blurring the top and bottom to make it look as if it were created with miniature models. You can also make a quirky portrait using the Fisheye Effect or add a beautiful single-tone effect with Monochrome. Toy Camera Effect simulates a vintage look as it capturing the photo using a "toy" or pinhole camera. Help You Won't Need Help to FindHelp ButtonThe PowerShot A2500 digital camera is designed to be fun and easy to use, even for beginners. A Help Button on the camera's exterior brings up the help menu any time you need it, right on the LCD screen. From here, you can scroll through a variety of topics that answer your questions with clear explanations, offer helpful shooting advice, and show you diagrams highlighting the position of any buttons you'll need.

Review: Powershot A2500 - 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 desertcart 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!
Review: Great budget camera for travel - I wanted a low budget camera with great megapixels and high resolution, and i found this one. It offers a lot of options for many scenarios and is very easy to use, even my child was able to take good pictures. Small enough to put it in the pocket and travel with no issues.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this camera work with windows8?**
A: Yes, I have Windows 8.1 Update.  The memory card can be removed from the camera and then inserted into my laptop's card reader.  It can also be connected using a mini USB cable and Windows detected the camera.

**Q: Are pictures easy to upload to a computer?**
A: The camera gives you two ways to upload pictures. You can either take out the SD card or you can plug the wire in while the camera is on (if you are given one with purchase--I was not). A directory will pop up for the second option and you just click on how you want to access the content. It only take 2-3 clicks. The faster way is to just take out the card, but if you want to be safe about breaking the card, then plug it in to your computer. Both options are fast either way, like most cameras.

**Q: can you recharge it?**
A: The camera comes with a lithium ion battery and a wall charger. The battery fits directly into the compact charger and the whole unit plugs into a wall socket. The battery seems to last well and charging generally does not take much time.  There are lights in the charger to let you know when the battery is ready and the unit will stop charging when the battery is full so as not to burn it out.

**Q: What is recovery time between shots?**
A: I don't know what that means, recovery time, my best guess what you want to know is how long do you have to wait until you can take another picture and not sure on the exact amount of time, but it's longer than I like (I have a 3 year old) but not as long as my old camera. I'm sure there is a way to set it on fast or multiple picture taking, just haven't figured that out yet.  My best guess is at least 30 seconds. Hope that answers your question.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great budget camera for travel
*by I***Z on January 2, 2024*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall fantastic, with one aggravating flaw
*by H***E on August 15, 2014*

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.
