Sharpness

On a body of this size, the 18x lens is very ambitious, and unfortunately this results in mixed sharpness scores. The WB150F should not be considered a particularly sharp camera, evidenced by most of our sample photos, however our tests did record some decent detail in certain zones, likely due to both software edge enhancement and sweet spots in the lens.

If you're stuck shooting detail with the WB150F, we recommend limiting your focal length to the minimum and ignoring the rule of thirds by keeping important subjects at the center of the frame. More on how we test sharpness.

Image Stabilization

Optical stabilization is a more advanced technology than the digital method often used by small or inexpensive cameras. However the WB150F's optical stabilizer actually worsens sharpness by 18% on average. Therefore we only recommend enabling stabilization for assistance with framing long zoom shots.
