Re: WB150 review.

Here are the photos - all centre crops from images taken at 'Normal' camera settings and 'best quality' JPEGs, with exposure adjusted to avoid highlight bleaching in the sky:

FZ1000 ISO125 400mm (eq)

WB150 (model #1) ISO100, 400mm (eq)

WB150 (model #2) ISO 100, 400mm (eq)

WB150 (model #3) ISO 100, 400mm (eq). Note cooler tone as well as general blurring.

Fuji S100FS ISO100, 400mm (eq). Note much warmer tone

None of the cameras accurately reproduces, on my screen at least, the true colour of the bricks, though all three makes of camera produce images which are convincing and appear realistic - until compared with the original!

The Fuji photo was taken 24hrs later - seemingly identical weather (100% overcast), but it's possible that may have altered the overall tone a touch, I suppose.

AWB was used in each case.

On the basis of this test, a £50-£80 pocket-sized camera (from eBay) is as sharp as one costing £700+ and DSLR-like in size.

My decade-old BENQ C60 takes razor-sharp photos (at ISO50!) and images taken with it are the only photos I have taken over the last 50 years that I have ever had hanging on my house walls - enlarged to A3.
