Just bought my tele extender for my pre-ordered EX2F

Today at BB, store pick-up, the WB150f.

It is fantastic, so far. For the price I get the reach I may need on vacation.

Wifi works great with no data cost to use it (remote viewfinder, download originals to my tablet).

Emailed my fiirst pic from the camera, amazing.

From 1 to 10 I give it a value rating of 20.

I tried it in a store several months ago, and I didn't like the picture quality, far too mushy. And a little later I saw thet dpr has comparison pictures of this camera which are pretty poor, confirming my in-store taken pictures.

Too bad it's not got a better sensor like the WB850f. The 150f is quite light weight, nice grip etc. so pity the pictures aren't better.

I tried the WB850f a few weeks ago too: noticeably heavier, much better picture quality, also feels good in the hand, I like the menus, zooming into a picture and scrolling it when reviewing seems much faster than with the EX1/WB2000/ST70 (some of the Samsung cameras I tried over past 2 years). Not sure how fast the WB150f is at this but the low picture quality made me disinterested in anything else about it, so I didn't take notice.

And off-topic here I suppose but perhaps of use to those contemplating a good compact, like an EX2, and wondering if the small Pentax Q could be used instead (that was my view of why it might be interesting some months ago): It's quite small, and the buttons I think are too small, too close together, and some are almost flat with the housing, they should stick out more. I don't have big hands, so this must be an issue for many people.
