The F300EXR provides an inbuilt lens providing a focal range of 24-360mm making it a 15.0 x zoom which is ideal and does enable you to zoom right in.

At the widest 24mm, it comes with an aperture of f3.5 and that is kind of slow and not good for low light events and you might find it hard to get a shallow depth of field. You will probably also have to raise the ISO setting causing noisy files. Towards the tele end, 360mm is outstanding zoom and comes to f5.3 which is really slow and you would need to set slow shutter speeds.

The F300EXR has the following connectivity:

• USB Yes
• HDMI Yes

Cameras with NFC and / or Bluetooth connectivity can easily be controlled wirelessly through smartphones. You will be able to copy pictures and in some cases alter camera settings without connecting straight to the camera.

Certain applications even allow a Liveview and click the shutter when you aren't near the camera. If the camera contains a HDMI port, it could be attached to an external display. Almost all cameras will allow you to recharge the battery using the USB socket.

The maximum video quality on the FujiFilm F300EXR is 1280 x 720 and you can capture in Motion JPEG format. 720p is low for today's requirements.

It is perhaps a better idea to get a different camera if you require good sound for your video clips.

There is no weather sealing in the FujiFilm F300EXR so you need to be cautious in rainy and dusty conditions.
