Re: WB150 review.

That is quite a detailed review. Actually the WB150F has wi-fi but not gps. It doesn't have the amoled screen of the WB850F and its video is not full hd. Even so, I agree it may be better value. Some of the sample shots look ok. For example the Mandarin duck has good colour and sharpness considering it was taken at full 432mm equiv. zoom.

I considered the WB850F and WB150F but settled on the WB750 mainly because the price has dropped. Adorama has it for US$164, so I ordered one for myself and one as a gift. A review of the WB750 is on the same site:

The WB750 has the same lens as the WB150F (or at least the same focal length range) but a different sensor (less mp). It has neither gps or wi-fi but can do full hd video with stereo sound. Mine arrived only a couple of days ago, so it is too early to comment really. First impressions of image quality are not so good. Colours seem muted and sharpness a little lacking. However some tweaking of the settings may help. e.g. white balance, sharpness and contrast. Video seems ok. The camera focuses and zooms very quietly but zoom progress is uneven, so best avoided during video.

I'm probably comparing it unconsciously with my nx10 which is unfair as the sensor is only a fraction of the size.
