Casio TRYX Lens specifications
The TRYX has a built in lens and a fixed focal length of 21mm which means you do not have the luxury to zoom.
At the widest 21mm, the lens offers an aperture of f2.8 which will be rather slow and not great in low light situations and you may find it difficult to capture a shallow depth of field. You will likely also have to boost the ISO setting which results in noisy files.
Casio TRYX Connectivity
The TRYX has the following connectivity:
- USB Yes
- Wireless Yes
- HDMI Yes
Cameras that have NFC and Bluetooth compatibility can easily be controlled wirelessly through smartphones. You can easily copy photos and in some cases change camera settings with no need to connect physically to the camera.
Certain applications even stream a Liveview and click the shutter whenever you aren't near the camera. If the camera has a HDMI out, it could be hooked up to an external monitor. Nearly all cameras will allow you to recharge the battery with the USB socket.
Casio TRYX Video specifications
The maximum video quality in the Casio TRYX is 1920 x 1080 and it can capture in MPEG-4 format. 1080p quality is an excellent balance for quality and file sizes but FULL HD isn't going to leave you with much room to crop. The camera doesn't feature a mic and headphone port so you have no control over your sound. It is perhaps a better idea to look into a different camera should you need good sound in your video clips.
Casio TRYX Weather Sealing
There is no weather sealing in the Casio TRYX so you need to be cautious in rainy or dusty conditions.
