Casio EX-Z800 Lens information

The EX-Z800 features a built-in lens offering a focal range of 27-108mm making it a 4.0 x zoom which is not at all exceptional however it will probably be invaluable in some scenarios.

At it's widest 27mm, the lens has an aperture of f3.2 which will be very sluggish and not very good for low light situations and you might struggle to get good bokeh. You could also have to raise your ISO setting which causes noisy photographs. Towards the long end, 108mm comes to f5.9 which is fairly slow and you would have to set slow shutter speeds.

Casio EX-Z800 Video information

The highest video resolution in the Casio EX-Z800 is 640 x 480 and you can record in Motion JPEG format. 480p is terrible for today's standards.

It is perhaps a better idea to take a look at a different model in case you need better audio for your video clips.
