The Fujifilm S9200 has got a built in lens and it has a focal range of 24-1200mm making it a 50.0 x zoom which is great and is going to let you zoom all the way in.

At the widest 24mm, the lens offers an aperture of f2.9 and that is somewhat slow and not the best in low light situations and you may find it difficult to capture a shallow depth of field. You would also have to increase the ISO setting which causes noisy pictures. On the tele end, 1200mm is amazing zoom and comes with f6.5 making it quite sluggish and you may need to go with slow shutter speeds.

• USB Yes

The highest video quality in the Fujifilm S9200 is 1920 x 1080 and it can shoot in H.264 format. 1080p quality provides a good balance between quality vs file sizes but FULL HD will not give you much room to crop.
