Was not able to make this camera work with my wifi iPhone 4S, it was returned for full credit. Sorry not able to help with your problem.

I took it to a concert and recorded Kelly Clarkson doing two cover songs and she sounds almost as good on the recorded footage as she did live. The speakers from the stadium were slightly overpowering so I blame them for their being some "mechanical" sound added, but over it was great and the zoom was perfect. Video quality was amazingly clear on it as well. Haven't tried the wifi on it yet.

I would like an answer also. I can barely hear the replay after recording on my iPhone 4S.

I use the YCam app and it works fine for me for sound and live video. I think there are several others that work with it as well, maybe some others can chime in too

Hi,What is your operating system...PC window or Mac? I am looking for a camera that will work as a webcam also and it seems that Fujis are ones mentioned, but have not found any info on which cameras or how to hook up. I see no one replied to your posting, but wondered if you ever got the S700 to work as a webcam as i am very interested in this camera...thanks

It would depend on the lighting available and lens being used. Is it possible to shoot at a concert with this camera, the answer is yes. But to give a concise answer i would need additional information to provide a more complete explanation (Type of concert, how close to stage, lens type etc....) Know that the maximum ISO is 1600 on the XSi.

I purchased the WB850F and returned. . It has great features like wifi etc... but it sucks as a camera.. I just purchased a Cannon Powershot SX50HS which so far has impressed me with its pictures.. Afterall a camera is for taking pictures and not wifi!..Jack Megrabyan

I actually returned the camera. My pictures were out of focus. I tried several settings and different lighting and it was inconsistent. I didn't have that problem with the other point and shoots I've owned. I only uploaded a photo to Facebook once and it wasn't difficult. You connect with wifi.

Didn't try the HDR feature--doesn't work in RAW mode--but the WiFi is easy to set up and works great with the iOS app on my iPhone 5s: ultimate remote and easy preview and upload of images. If you can use a smartphone or computer you can use be up and running with WiFi in less than a minute (assuming you have the app already on your phone).

I can't say I'm an expert on this topic, as I've never really had a need for a video camera and that capability was not why I purchased the camera to begin with. That being said, I have used the video feature a few times and must say that the sound quality is pretty darn good. The image remains pretty good when your hand shakes, though I can't imagine any video camera would not have some shake. You can zoom in/out while using the video. For my needs, it's been good. And others have made positive comments on the video I've taken with it... so I think that's positive, as well! Hope this helps! :)

check out their website (blog) for updates - i am using a Nikon D4 and they say it is in beta but it works fine on my iphone and ipad and my mac mini for sending the actual pictures ;)

yes, you can watch video through wifi... but two way conversation, its supposed to, but in practice volumen at max is so low that's impossible.You can talk through the App and it will sound good in the camera but the other way around... if someone speaks to the camera you will bearly listen (at max volumen) in the App.

There is a Cannon app I use so I can see what I shot or what I am about to shoot on my iPhone and I have ability to share my shots from there. The camera connects directly to the app but you do need the internet connection from your iPhone to share. The camera uses bluetooth to connect but it is not a mobile device with own internet access. I hope I gave you the info you need. Good luck with it.. it is a fantastic camera... My iPhone 6 plus will be fun too but there is noting like a solid, capable DSLR in your hand :) with a great lens of course :)

When i download my movies from this camera to my Mac, there is a disconnect between the video and the sounds. It's like a delay. Very annoying as i use it mostly for short clips of concerts. Also, there is a long delay between when i push the button for a photo and when it actually takes it (the photo). Are there fixes for for this? Operator error or is this the camera? Really thinking about selling it. But then what? I researched this for a long time and am disappointed.

It takes video really well, audio is not bad too. It's not professional, but about on par with your iPhone.

Its an excellent camera, with great picture quality. I used my phone a few times to view it and though there is a lag in the video feed but the video quality is pretty good.

I can on my iPhone 4S with up to date iOS software. You can also use the volume key on headphones to "snap" the picture. They function just as a set of ear buds but with a lot better sound.

Hello, you don't need a camera! The iPod touch will be fine! But you xon't ne able to film yourself and use that movie (it's actually a small extra option)
