The Fujifilm SL1000 comes with an inbuilt lens and a focal range of 24-1200mm making it a 50.0 x zoom which is huge and would make it easier to zoom all the way in.

At the widest 24mm, it will have an aperture of f2.9 making it really slow and not good in low light events and you might find it difficult to capture a shallow depth of field. You would also need to raise the ISO leading to noisy photographs. With the tele end, 1200mm is amazing zoom and comes at f6.5 which is very slow and you may need to use slow shutter speeds.
