can you get good basketball pics

It depends on how far away from the court you are and how well lit it is. It needs a lot of light for high speed shots (sunlit day, practically) and, even then, you'll have to sacrifice quality for a higher ISO. If your intent is to only use it for sporting photos, I would suggest a 300mm f/4-5.6 or better.

Most likely not. It is slow and has no stabilizer. You'll need a good tripod and a very well lit place. Even though, fast moments will likely be fuzzy.

Mmmmaybe, I kind of doubt it though. It's f/8 so you'd probably need a very well-lit place if you were going to attempt high-speed photography.

You can get decent quality pics from the rear facing camera. It has several settings for adjusting resolution, shooting mode, exposure, etc. You'll want to change the storage to the external sd card otherwise you'll run out of space quickly. The flash can be overly bright and can wash out your subject if you're too close. I like the panoramic shooting mode. I find pictures taken with the zoom are less detailed. The front facing camera produces good quality pics. I haven't used it with any chat apps like Skype so I can't comment on that. Video mode works well too.

I would have to say yes as long as you use the wide angle lens with a 35mm to 55 mm lens you should be able to get some good shots.

My understanding from reading posts on dpreview, www.dpreview.com, the jpgs are excellent. I cannot comment personally since I only shoot RAW.

i recorded my granddaughters basketball game, 1 hour 10 minutes, still showing 3 bars on the battery, also you can buy a bigger battery for this, i feel 3hrs of continuous recording if you not going crazy on zooming in and out. i still buy backup batteries for every camera i purchase. i love how good the recording was, following action, and i held camera the whole game zooming in and out, and it was great steady movie picture.and very lite. i would buy again.

I don't know about sporting events or basketball games but under decent lighting, its great. You can use the camera flash or not, either ways the picture clarity is nice.

Yes, the zoom and picture quality are great features to have when shooting sports photography. It also has a feature where the camera anticipates the photograph to eliminate blur. I've used it for basketball and bowling (in low-light conditions) and it works great.

Is it possible to get a picture of what you are trying to do it will give me a better idea

I have used this camera for shooting my little brother's basketball games. It has done the job pretty well. It has the shutter speed to take clear, crisp pictures, even during quick basketball games. The camera also has a sports setting designed to shoot multiple successive pictures while holding your finger down. All-in-all, it's done the job for me nicely. That being said, I have not used a telephoto lens yet because I haven't been that far away from the action. It's my next goal. Hope this helped a little bit!

Yes it will.......they will be grainy and you will have to tweak the color a bit, but yes you can do pictures. Text would be hard to read.

Yes. The pictures are great. Plus you can plug into your computer and Internet or just remove the memory card. Enjoy!
