I have the entire camera package, and it is fantastic. The camera has features that make it sand far above all other cameras. What makes it great, is versatility. there are things that you can do with Canon Cameras, that cannot be done with any other.. I was even able to use my camera, as a surveillance camera, by connecting it to my MacBook Air and Mac mini, to watch my home while I am out. In short, This Camera is Amazing, Period

2.5 I am very disappointed with the camera. My 14mpx Camera takes much better pictures and is much easier to control features. It also has a light for video which this does not. I am most disturbed by the fact that it will not charge via the USB cable which almost all others do. So using the USB cable to transfer photos drains my battery. This is not disclosed on the package. I am considering taking it back!

Solid construction but... 1. No USB/interface cable included. Available online, but is out of stock. Seriously, for the price, I would think Canon could afford to include this cable...most other brands do, and it is not clearly indicated on the package what is included, so you're out of luck when you've opened it. 2. The user interface is very complex. Buttons are marked with functions, but also do something completely different in a different mode (power on or off, menu, etc.. The menu is fairly clear. The included pamphlet is primitive. A more comprehensive manual is available online, but again, REALLY? 3. When it's all over and done, the picture quality is mediocre (compared to similar shots taken by the same people using different cameras). The battery doesn't seem to hold much of a charge...about 20 stills and it needs recharging. 4. I have a 15-year-old camera (different brand, much lower megapixels and zoom abilities, and it easily outperforms this one. It cost about the same as this one at that time.

The fact that it doesn't come with an interface cable is insane.

This camera is just a basic camera you can't expect much for the price. Settings are basic. As far as being able to adjust the size of the photo, use a picture software program if you need to change the size. It is always best to take the best picture possible and then resize afterwards. That way one can make large prints if you get a great shot. Now down loading pictures with any camera it is always faster to pull the card and download directly to your computer. Data cables are slow and not worth the time it takes to transfer from camera to the computer. With that said this camera is what it is point and shoot grab them on the fly and that is what I needed for work and quick trips. If you are looking for a camera with multiple features then look in a higher price range don't waste your time and money with this camera.

I owned this camera for one week and returned it because it was so difficult to see through the viewfinder outdoors. I then bought a Canon A1400 because it has an optical viewfinder but haven't used it yet.

Disappointed that there was no manual, why do I want to search and download it. Shouldn't this basic need to understand a camera come with it?? No adaptor, but there is a portal on the camera for one, so again , an extra charge. Very disappointed that the very basics aren't included. Too bad canon, you lost a customer.

I guess the worst thing is it didn't come with a users manual, it has to be downloaded, and their site doesn't work. So I'm stuck with a camera that doesn't focus where I want it to focus, I get these green squares that bracket everything but the item I want to focus on. It takes OK pictures, but file is huge - 3MB plus. Want to anger your friends?try emailing several photos. I keep getting this "LIVE" icon in the corner. What's that supposed to mean? It has a cell phone type lithium battery. I can't tell from the icon how much life is left in the battery. there is no simple menu item to show battery life. The external charger has no cord, just two prongs that flip out to plug into a socket. you have to remove the battery to charge it. The flash is in the left corner at the top, so if you use two hands to hold the camera, make sure you don't cover the flash, especially if you have gloves on. If you try to use one hand, you have to be especially careful where you put your thumb, or you will hit the function/scroll button. Which has multiple functions, It is labeled Eco, delete/auto, flash, Disp. Other times it is a scroll button, but its not marked with arrows, so you have to guess what is going to happen when you press it. I used to have a canon A560, which was a great camera -7.1 mega pixels, until I dropped it and cracked the battery door. but I used and abused it a lot, and couldn't put it into my shirt pocket,so when the lens stopped coming out I upgraded.

When you buy the camera, it should be workable out of the box but this camera did not work. I am going to try and get a memory card to see if I add a new memory card, I might be able to get it to start. Yes, the battery is fully charged.

It doesn't get much easier than this! It's point and shoot, right out of the (after charging the battery was snapping great pictures! For those that complained about no software and support did not examine this page. I downloaded the PDF manual to my phone and read it while the battery was charging. Software is available for download on this site under support. Low price, high quality, I'm all for it!

I previously owned a Canon A560 and purchased the A2500 because I thought it might have new features. Takes a lousy picture. Very dark even when using the flash. So dark I can barely make out the subject in the picture. Worse mistake I ever made.

The PowerShot A2500 is a good camera. For those of you looking for the user guide (or manual, please see my link below or search for PowerShot A2500 and select any color except red. I purchased the red one and was lookiong for the manual and did not find it following the instructions given with the camera. Here's the link: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/digital_cameras/powershot_a2500?selectedName=BrochuresAndManuals Have fun!

I was astonished that a User Manual was not even available online on the Canon website. This is not an acceptable practice - many people rely on these User Manuals.

I don't mind that there is no hard copy user's manual included with camera, not even a basic little "get started" post card. However, to go online to www.canon.com and discover that no user manual is available for download is absurd. I'll return this tomorrow.

Sadly a nice compact camera but lacking adequate instructions on how to use it. I printed all 109 pages of the manual...wud have been better served with a consice 20-30 page manual just pointing out the basics as opposed to marketing this camera as some sophisticated piece of equipment. Keep it simple!!!

Great photos, lightweight & easy to use! No instruction booklet, just a very brief insert showing how to set up camera included. No interface cable included. The instructions on the Canon site show a PDF file to download of 139 pages. I am in the dark about a lot of features.

For the price you pay, this is the best product you get. Very good picture quality, image stability is perfect and it is comfortably fit into your pocket.

The single instruction page in box provides very little detailed information. Not enough to properly use the camera. The single page makes false claim (You can download PDF manuals and software.... ) Not true. Thus camera is mostly useless. Take it back to dealer, demand your money back. Camera: PowerShot A2500.
