question

What is the audio quality like when you do video?
Asked by: Anonymous
Audio quality on video is perfectly acceptable, but you might have trouble seeing what you are shooting given the absence of an eyepiece.

question

Does the Lightroom download included with this purchase allow you to see what the camera sees ( think the correct terminology is liveview ) and can the camera be controled from a laptop? The write up included here only mentions tablet and phone.I have been comparing prices of software/camera/lens and laptop/tablet/ipad combinations. The least expensive combination I found (up till now) was a 550D/Rebel T2i, Breeze System Pro, and buying a small laptop.This Samsung with a lens and Lightroom included looks like a great deal.
Asked by: Christina B.
Lightroom is a post-production software platform and will not give you live view. The camera can be controlled from a smart phone or a tablet using an app, however it cannot be controlled from a laptop.
