It is known for its portability and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for casual photographers and those just beginning their journey into digital photography.

The COOLPIX 2500 features a built-in flash that automatically adjusts according to the lighting conditions, ensuring better image quality in low-light situations.

Another impressive aspect of the COOLPIX 2500 is its user-friendly interface, which allows even novice photographers to operate the camera with ease.

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.
