Canon PowerShot A2500: 40 facts and highlights

The larger the sensor the more light the sensor captures yielding in better image quality.

The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.

Fast continuous shooting is useful for catching action shots.

With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.

CIPA is an independent, standard measurement that determines how many shots a camera can take before the battery dies.

A faster maximum shutter speed allows taking pictures of fast moving subjects without blur.

The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience.

With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.

A flash is good for low-light environments, and can sometimes be used as flashlight.

When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.

More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.

The zoom range is the ratio between the longest and shortest focal lengths. A higher zoom range means that the lens is more versatile.

With a wider aperture the sensor can capture more light, helping to avoid blur by enabling a faster shutter speed. It also provides a shallow depth of field, allowing you to blur the background to focus attention on the subject.

You can shoot multiple pictures in a row.

Flash synchronization is defined as the firing of a photographic flash coinciding with the shutter admitting light to the image sensor. In general, faster flash sync speeds are better if the photographer needs to flash-fill subjects that are backlit and wants to avoid motion blur, or wants to increase depth of field by using a high aperture.
