The EX-S7 provides a built in lens giving a focal range of 36-107mm giving it a 3.0 x zoom which isn't significant but it could be invaluable in some circumstances.

At it's widest 36mm, the lens has an aperture of f3.1 and that is kind of sluggish and not good for low light conditions and you will probably struggle to get a shallow depth of field. You will probably also have to raise your ISO setting giving you noisy photos. At the long end, 107mm comes at f5.6 which is really slow and you would have to utilize slower shutter speeds.

The EX-S7 has the following connectivity:

• USB Yes

Many apps also give a Liveview and click the shutter whenever you aren't near the camera. If the camera boasts a HDMI port, it can be connected to an external monitor. A lot of cameras will allow you to recharge the battery through the USB port.

It is perhaps a better idea to find an alternative camera should you need better sound for your videos.

There is no weather sealing in the Casio EX-S7 so you have to be cautious in rainy or dusty conditions.
