The Fujifilm S9400W is equipped with a fixed lens having a focal range of 24-1200mm making it a 50.0 x zoom which is perfect and will enable you to zoom right in.

At it's widest 24mm, it features an aperture of f2.9 and that is quite sluggish and not ideal for low light occasions and you will likely find it difficult to get good bokeh. You will also need to boost your ISO giving you noisy photographs. Towards the long end, 1200mm is superb zoom and comes at f6.5 which is very slow and you might have to utilize slow shutter speeds.

The Fujifilm S9400W has the following connectivity:

• USB Yes
• Wireless Yes
• HDMI Yes

Digital cameras with NFC or Bluetooth connectivity can be used wirelessly with smartphones. You can easily copy pictures and oftentimes change settings without the hassle of connecting physically with the camera.

Certain apps also stream a Liveview and release the shutter when you are not near the camera. If the camera has a HDMI port, it can be hooked up to an external display. Many cameras will allow you to recharge the battery pack through the USB socket.

The highest possible video resolution on the Fujifilm S9400W is 1920 x 1080 and you can record in H.264 format. 1080p resolution is an excellent balance for quality versus file size but 1080p isn't going to give you any room to downsample. The body does not offer a microphone or headphone socket which means you get absolutely no control over the sound. It is perhaps a better idea to buy another camera in case you require good sound for your video clips.

There is no environment sealing on the Fujifilm S9400W so you have to be careful in rainy and dusty situations.
