All in all, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The A2500 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Canon A2500 will render more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The fresher A2500 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
