The Fujifilm A150 is equipped with a fixed lens and it has a focal range of 36-107mm giving it a 3.0 x zoom which isn't exceptional but it would certainly be useful in a few scenarios.

At the widest 36mm, the lens has an aperture of f3.1 which will be kind of slow and not ideal for low light occasions and you will likely struggle to get good bokeh. You will likely also need to boost the ISO which causes noisy photos. Towards the tele end, 107mm comes to f5.6 which is very slow and you would need to set slower shutter speeds.

The Fujifilm A150 has the following connectivity:

• USB Yes

Digital cameras with NFC and Bluetooth connectivity are able to be used wirelessly with smartphones. You can send files and sometimes adjust settings without the hassle of connecting straight to the camera.

Some applications even allow a Liveview and release the shutter whenever you are not near the camera. If the camera features a HDMI port, it can easily be hooked up to an external display. Most cameras will allow you to recharge the battery pack using the USB port.

The highest possible video resolution in the Fujifilm A150 is 640 x 480 and you can shoot in Motion JPEG file format. 480p is awful for today's requirements. You should shoot for at least FUll HD resolution for good video. The camera does not offer a microphone and headphone port so you get little control over the sound. It is perhaps best to get an alternative camera in case you want better sound for your videos.

There is no environment sealing for the Fujifilm A150 so you need to be careful in rainy or dusty situations.

The Fujifilm A150 has got a 3" fixed screen supporting a resolution of 230k dots.

Unfortunately the screen isn't a touch screen.
