The camera also features a 1.5-inch LCD display, enabling users to preview their shots instantly.

In terms of battery life, the COOLPIX 2500 operates on AA batteries, which is convenient for users who may not want to invest in specialized camera batteries. This feature allows for easy replacement and compatibility with commonly available batteries.

The Nikon COOLPIX 2500 remains a noteworthy model for its technological advancements during its era.
