The EX-G1 comes with a built in lens and a focal range of 38-114mm making it a 3.0 x zoom which is not at all significant but it will be very helpful in certain circumstances.

At the widest 38mm, the lens features an aperture of f3.9 which is kind of slow and not very good for low light situations and you may find it difficult to get a shallow depth of field. You will also have to raise the ISO setting causing noisy files. With the tele end, 114mm comes with f5.4 which is really slow and you might need to choose slow shutter speeds.

The EX-G1 has the following connectivity:

• USB Yes

Cameras that incorporate NFC and / or Bluetooth compatibility are able to be controlled wirelessly by smartphones. You can transfer photos and oftentimes adjust camera settings with no need to connect physically to the camera.

Many applications even allow a Liveview and press the shutter in case you aren't near the camera. If the camera features a HDMI port, it can easily be attached to an external display. Nearly all cameras will allow you to recharge the battery with the USB socket.

It is perhaps a better idea to look at a different camera should you require good sound for your video clips.
