Canon Powershot A2500 Black

Product Information

The difference is quite obvious looking at the model number—the missing suffix “IS” indicates that the A2500 lacks optical image stabilisation. It can also determine if you’re shooting in the dark and whether you have the camera attached to a tripod. As I’ve already mentioned, these models share the same sensor and lens so with the exception of the PowerShot A3500 IS’s optical image stabilisation, you can expect the same quality as in the clips below from the PowerShot A2500. Novice shooters might feel more comfortable with Live View control, which provides three sliders for control of exposure compensation (Dark/Light), saturation (Neutral/Vivid) and white balance (Cool/Warm).

It’s quite versatile, with the option to choose the size and position of the focus zone and the choice of three speeds. The Function/Set button at the centre of the D-pad brings up the stack of controls on the left side of the display. The PowerShot A2500 selected a sensitivity of 3200 ISO (only available in the Digital IS shooting mode) for this shot which resulted in a shutter speed of 1/160. If you get the chance, I'd strongly recommend you take a look at the two models side-by-side and ask yourself if the bigger screen really is worth the extra cost. But if you’re after a good budget PowerShot from the 2013 range, the A2500 is a solid option – no wonder it’s one of the best sellers right now.

Both offer Smart Auto with scene detection, they share the same sensitivity range with a maximum of 1600 ISO. The Software Developer Kit is provided free of charge and can be found at https://developercommunity.

In an upgrade to the earlier model, which only offered Program Auto for movies, Smart Auto with scene detection is now an option for movie recording, and you can use both exposure compensation and Live View Control to alter exposure and colour settings prior to pressing the record button.Both Russia and North Korea, long-standing allies, are subject to international sanctions, with Moscow facing sanctions due to its invasion of Ukraine and Pyongyang for its nuclear weapons testing.

However, the A2500 has a Eco mode which conserves battery power by dimming the screen after a two-second delay, then turning it off after a further 10 second delay. It’s good to see Canon taking the initiative and providing an alternative to optical image stabilisation for its budget A Series models, having said that, Digital IS is a much less effective system than the optical Intelligent IS system on the PowerShot A3500 IS. At high ISO, the noise isn’t too coarse, but the details are blotchy and there’s presence of colour noise, which is more apparent in darker areas of the frame.The shooting modes include Auto, Program, Portrait, Low Light, Toy Camera Effect, Fish-eye Effect, Miniature Effect, Monochrome, Poster Effect, Fireworks and Snow. The noise is well controlled at up to ISO 200, after which you should boost the ISO only if you don’t get fast shutter speeds; for instance, late in the evening or in low ambient lighting.

The Product purchased with this limited warranty is the only PowerShot Digital Camera to which this limited warranty applies. Futhermore, the IXUS 255 HS / ELPH 330 HS has built-in stereo microphones and an HDMI output, so it’s a more capable video camera than the PowerShot A2500 which has a mono mic and no HDMI port. The1600 ISO crop above is noisier than the Digtial IS crop, but it’s no less sharp and uses the sensor’s full 16 Megapixel resolution.
