At the widest 27mm, it will have an aperture of f2.8 which will be fairly slow and not the best in low light events and you will likely find it difficult to capture a shallow depth of field. You would also need to boost the ISO causing noisy images. On the tele end, 486mm is phenomenal zoom and comes with f4.5 which is very slow and you may need to use slower shutter speeds.

The max video quality on the Fujifilm S8100fd is 640 x 480 and it can capture in file format. 480p is low by today's requirements. You really should aim for at least 1080p quality for decent video.
