The Canon A2500 is a newer version of this camera, but if you do a comparison between the new A2500 and this one, the A2300, the specs are nearly identical in features. The only difference I could find was a very slight difference in overall size and a small difference in photos per battery charge even though they use the same battery. This is a basic point and shoot camera, almost as basic as you will find nowadays. Which makes this a good choice for a person that's new to digital anyone really.
It's a small camera, easily fits in a pocket. The buttons are laid out well so you don't hit a wrong button when you meant to push another. In this regard, much better than a couple of the Canon Elph models I tried previously. Build quality itself seems very good, but I do notice some noise in the zoom motor when playing back videos.
Leave it on SmartAuto. Your photos will be good 99% of the time. But if you think you will get DSLR quality images with this camera? You can't expect that with a camera this price. This camera is not that great in low light if you don't use the flash; when there's not enough light your photos will be grainy. It takes very good photos outdoors on a sunny day but almost any camera will give you the same. I'd even go so far to say that some Smartphones will take better photos than this camera.
No matter where you're shooting make sure you can hold steady while shooting, sure this has digital image stabilization, but it's not as good as optical stabilization. And as far as I can tell, the Digital IS only active when you choose the Digital IS setting by choosing Program-FuncSet-and right clicking the control wheel to Digital IS. This is disappointing that it's not available on all settings. The menus are typical Canon, and there is no dial like the more expensive cameras have.
No optical viewfinder for those of you wanting to know. The LCD screen is average quality, not enough dots, so when you take a photo and look at it on the camera's screen, it doesn't look nearly as good as when you upload it to your computer. I think I'm spoiled by my Sony cameras that have 921,000 dots, compared to this Canon that has only 230,000 dots. It's a little slow between shots, there is processing lag, especially when using the flash.
Videos are ok with this camera, 720p is fine for those with an older computer. this Canon has audio with the video, but it's not stereo. You cannot optically zoom during the video, but you can do so before you first press the video button. If you DO use the zoom button after pushing the video button, it will be CRUMMY-looking digital zoom and you will hear noticeable zoom motor noise/clicking,at least on this camera I did.
I wish it had fewer megapixels than 16 MP. The sensor, being a 1/2.3 like most cheaper cameras, is too small. More megapixels are not better unless the sensor size is also larger to go along with it. This is part of the reason these cameras are crummy in low-light situations. So this Canon will do there's always some kind of sacrifice one makes when choosing a camera.
One thing I really like about this is the use of a lithium ion battery as opposed to AA batteries, and it has a separate battery charger. It also comes with Canon photo editing software, and I think is better than Picasa, although there are less editing features to choose. No internal memory at all, make sure you buy an SDHC card. I recommend a Class 10 card, especially if you plan on shooting videos.
The camera initially looks simple and if it is, looks like a toy
is a good toy with 16 megapixel photographs get more realistic, Canon is a brand endorsed and established for many years. A lightweight camera is the Power Shot A2300, have HD recording, Smart Auto mode for the camera Select the most appropriate scene and manual mode where you choose the filter from the scene, fun and creative filters, you have the ease of manipulate the photograph with the option program creates panoramic fun
a cheap camera, simple with great picture quality and very easy to use
I had been looking for a good point and shoot for my mom.. I had bought her a couple of other well known brands and have always had problems. but my husband bought mine and I loved it so much I had to have it for her... It is small and compact and will fit in your back pocket or your purse and the quality of pictures is perfect. we bought already own a Canon SLR and knew the quality of a Canon. I will never buy anything else, this is our camera. It is good for a beginner, or an experienced picture taker.. the zoom and focus is great and really easy to use. A must have no matter if you are a teen, mom, or grand mom, you cannot lose. I have since bought my 18 year old and twin 17 year olds one as well and the love it, I guess we are just one big Canon family
This camera is great for video recording. To get better performance you must use a class 10 hdsc card. Flasher works great. Photos are very clean even in the dark. There is few nice Photo effects in camera settings to get photos with special effects. Even if you don't customize settings it will automatically adjust camera settings to match the current light conditions. Video recording is very clear at night but need a little light from another source. Camera is better at normal range but it gets little blur when you zoom full. anyway anyway this is a great camera and i loved it
Great product with $100. As like most of the other cameras, the pictures at night time is not outstanding, likely due to small flash. But overall, I am pleased with this product.
