Is this camera good for filming?

I'm not a professional. I've gotten a lot of great quality videos from my kids events.

The few videos I have done are great but it's not primarily something I use it for. Over all I would recommend a tripod or stand if you plan on using it for that. The display is big enough that you should have no issues with it.

It does a good job with video, as it's HD, at 720p. However, it doesn't seem to adjust focus well, if you change the telephoto setting while filming. It's better to stop recording, adjust your teldphoto lens to where you want it, then re-focus before recording again. I have not uploaded to YouTube yet, so I can't comment on that, but it should work OK.

I would say no it is not good at doing super close up shots. You would need a camera with a macro lens to do that kind of photos.

It is difficult to say, and the question is pretty subjective given that we don't know exactly how much light is available and what level of image quality you are looking for. Like most cameras in its class, this camera has a relatively small image sensor, so shooting in low light situations is not its strong suit. But the camera does ok, and will likely be better than shooting with a cell phone camera or similar. It won't be nearly as good as shooting with something in a DSLR class, however, which will have an image sensor several times the size of this one.

It is a cheap camera. And is not HD. It records but not clear picture. It depends on what you are looking for.

Hello, Terry, I utilize the camera to film my YouTube cooking show. It does seem to have a problem maximizing standard light sources (apartment lighting), which might impact your filming. I have personally struggled to get the light sensors to create bright video even when every light in the kitchen is on. On the plus side, the camera does produce high quality, very large image files. It works for YouTube, but how it would translate to a full blown filming depends on if you are utilizing industry lighting or shooting in bright sunlight. If so, it should work well. If you are going to film in low light or darkened outdoor conditions, you might want to search elsewhere.

Judging from the question itself and your grammer, the selection of a camera is the least of your wories. From what I expect you to produce, purchasing this camera will allow you to make your "horror film" and not waste your money

I actively use it for filming B-roll action shots. This camera has a great optical stabilizer for moving and following subjects for music videos or tracking subjects. I use Final Cut Pro X for editing.

No this is not a better camera for this price ! But also consider a good tripod with this camera.

Yes, it shoots video, but the capability is limited, and it's not the latest technology. That being said, I've been very happy with this camera for several years.

I think it will fit your needs. In fact, we bought this camera to take picture of our home, it came out well. Even the pictures in low light turned out good. I am not an experienced photographer as well, so you can use this like a point and shoot

Yes it does great with pretty much any situation. It's a great camera and has great quality. Only downside is it's not amazing in low light situations so you will need a flash or a very steady hand.

Yes. Its a decent camera. I am happy with this. The company selling this set was very good too. Over all I am satisfied. You can buy it.

I would not recommend it. For a little more money, you shoukd invest in a better quality camera that will last longer.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I never tried to film in low light and my low light photos were not particularly impressive. As an aside, I want to let you know that I don't think this camera is worth your money, that is if you want a durable, working camera. After only one year of light usage of this camera, while on a trip to the Grand Canyon, the camera inexplicably began to produce super overexposed photos. After that happened, I fiddled around with the camera and adjusted it according to the instruction manual, but I couldn't fix the issue. Eventually, I came back to the Amazon and searched for the product's negative reviews and sure enough, others had similar issues that made this camera not usable after a few months to a year. According to those reviewers, when they reached out to Fuji to inquire about getting replacement parts or their cameras fixed, Fuji was either completely not helpful or offered very costly help. You may want to check out those negative reviews for yourself.

It isn't bad at all! more of a camera for simple recording, i use it for recording sporting events in high light areas

This camera is not the best one for what you need. That is my personal opinion of course.
