Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Canon A2300 and Canon A2500 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon A2300 has external dimensions of 95 x 54 x 20 mm (3.74 x 2.13 x 0.79″) and weighs 125 g (0.28 lb / 4.41 oz) (including batteries). Canon A2500 has external dimensions of 98 x 56 x 20 mm (3.86 x 2.2 x 0.79″) and weighs 135 g (0.30 lb / 4.76 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon A2300 and the Canon A2500.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon A2300 and Canon A2500.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon A2300 and Canon A2500.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon A2300 is 10g lighter than the Canon A2500 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot A2300 nor Canon PowerShot A2500 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon A2500's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon A2300's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
