Q: whats the difference between wi fi enabled and wifi ready?

A: WiFi support is built in with those cameras that are WiFi enabled while those that are WiFi ready still needs an acessory called an Eye-Fi WiFi SD card.

Q: wrist strap

A: There are two holes on the side of the camera. You feed the loop in to one hole and it will come out the other hole. At this point you feed the hand strap through the small cord you fed through the holes and pull the hand strap taut. It takes some force to get the small end to feed through the holes. (I took mine back to the store because I wasn't pushing hard enough and thought I was doing it incorrectly. The sales associate did it for me.)

Q: Low light

A: It does beautifully! It has become my favorite for all-around shooting. If I'm somewhere where I can't use the flash I set it to Auto and it shows Low Light on the screen so I know it's using all the available light in the scene. The colors come out well and the picture's sharp.

Q: Is there a setting for motion (sport) shots?

A: Hi sparks, you can set the camera to Cont. Shooting to take 10 shots per second while the shutter is pressed. This setting is best for motion or sports shots. Thanks_Mitch

Q: is this camera good for concerts?

A: the camera has a long zoom capability, which you may find useful for getting a tighter shot. That said, the auto focus is a little slow for purpose, since all contrast-based auto focus systems are going to struggle with the lighting conditions of a concert. Also, you may have to manually select the white balance, as auto-balance usually struggles with stage lights, especially flashing colors constantly changing.

Q: can I upload pictures from this camera to an IPad air?

A: Yes, get the Sony App, Playmemories" at the App Store. Very easy to get to IPod air.
