At it's widest 36mm, the lens has an aperture of f3.1 which will be very sluggish and not great for low light occasions and you will probably find it difficult to get good bokeh. You would also have to boost your ISO setting leading to noisy shots. Towards the long end, 107mm comes with f5.6 which is fairly slow and you would have to set slower shutter speeds.

The Fujifilm A100 has the following connectivity:

• USB Yes

It is perhaps a better idea to look into an alternative model should you want good audio for your videos.

Fujifilm A100 doesn't have weather sealing so rainy conditions can damage the camera.
