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.

The EX-Z800 has the following connectivity:

• USB Yes

Cameras that come with NFC and Bluetooth compatibility are able to be used wirelessly by smartphones. You are able to send photos and sometimes adjust settings without the hassle of connecting directly with the camera.

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. You should try to get a minimum 1080p resolution for video recording. The body doesn't include a microphone and headphone socket which means you get absolutely no control over the audio. It is perhaps a better idea to take a look at a different model in case you need better audio for your video clips.
