The Fujifilm S8300 comes with a fixed lens providing a focal range of 24-1008mm giving it a 42.0 x zoom which is great and is going to make it easier to zoom right in.

At the widest 24mm, it features an aperture of f2.9 making it rather slow and not very good for low light situations and you may struggle to get good bokeh. You will also have to boost the ISO setting leading to noisy photos. On the tele end, 1008mm is brilliant zoom and comes at f6.5 which is quite slow and you might need to set slower shutter speeds.

The Fujifilm S8300 has the following connectivity:

• USB Yes
• HDMI Yes

Cameras that incorporate NFC and Bluetooth compatibility can easily be used wirelessly through smartphones. You can copy images and at times alter settings with no need to connect directly to the camera.

A few applications even stream a Liveview and click the shutter when you aren't near the camera. If the camera features a HDMI port, it could be hooked up to an external screen. Almost all cameras will allow you to recharge the battery through the USB port.

The maximum video resolution on the Fujifilm S8300 is 1920 x 1080 and you can capture in Motion JPEG file format. 1080p resolution is an excellent balance for video quality versus file sizes but FULL HD isn't going to give you any room to downsample. The camera doesn't feature a microphone and headphone port so you have got no control over the sound. It is perhaps a better idea to consider a different camera should you require good sound for your videos.

Fujifilm S8300 doesn't include weather sealing so rainy conditions can easily affect the camera.

The Fujifilm S8300 has got a 3" fixed display boasting a resolution of 460k dots.

Sadly the display isn't a touch screen.
