The S2800HD has an inbuilt lens and it has a focal range of 28-504mm making it a 18.0 x zoom which is significant and would make it easier to zoom right in.

At the widest 28mm, the lens offers an aperture of f3.1 which will be quite slow and not very good in low light circumstances and you might find it difficult to capture a shallow depth of field. You will probably also need to increase the ISO which results in noisy photographs. For the tele end, 504mm is phenomenal zoom and comes at f5.6 making it very sluggish and you will need to use slow shutter speeds.

The S2800HD has the following connectivity:

• USB Yes
• HDMI Yes
