Customer Review

The Canon PowerShot A2500 convinced me with its excellent usability and simple key management. This makes them - and for that she is indeed promoted - the ideal entry-level camera. For here also camera Inexperienced find your way quickly. Their light weight will also be noted very positive, because that makes it an easily be entrained camera.

Unfortunately, I must also express criticism, leading to the withdrawal on 3 star:
- Even cameras for this price may be better processed. The material used seems cheap, the camera is externally unappealing. Too bad.
- One shortcoming is despite the ease of use that camera users have to learn to deal with the relatively complicated setting. Quick selection of the recording mode is not possible here. In order to quickly make the right images, users should either know which mode you need and learn this fast to use - or use the not always optimal automatic.
- My problem with the automatic: The image quality is highly dependent on the lighting conditions from which photos are tinted quickly and have a very high image blur.
- Due to the rather bad displays is inexperienced camera very difficult to judge the image quality. This only works on the selected viewing medium, with me the laptop, which also proves that I was back in no case in the pictures because they are pixelated immediately.
- In addition, the display is only poorly visible depending on lighting conditions, when exposed to sunlight, it is no longer recognizable.
- The image quality of all settings is inadequate: As a snapshot camera, the Canon PowerShot A2500 is just as suitable, but even in less favorable lighting conditions she is completely overwhelmed. So were all the pictures that I took in my then less-lit apartment in the afternoon, to be thrown away. Also dawn light outdoors does not like them.

Overall, probably an acceptable camera for those who can live with poorer picture quality when they were given the ease of use. Even as a second camera for snapshots I can well imagine. Who enjoys photography, better use another camera. , Ka
