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.

• 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.

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.
