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 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.
