Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neil" data-source="post: 794166" data-attributes="member: 1568">Sony W100 v Fuji F31 in a shoot-outI have been testing the Sony W100 and Fuji F31 (same as F30 ) on the SRB-Griturn adapter.  Yesterday I did a shoot-out with the cameras from the same position while I was having my Latte and mushroom omelette. I wanted to test the cable release. I had the tripod set up at chest level at the side of my table and the mynas were about 20 metres away in good light. These images are the Fuji F31 at iso 100 on the left and the Sony W100 at iso 80 on the right.      I had trouble with both cameras focusing on low contrast subjects at greater than 25 metres without focusing through the scope (the CP8400 rotatable screen is so much easier to use in this application as you would expect ) .  The Sony image is bigger due to extra megapixels (8 v 6 ) but I can't see much difference between the images at low iso's.  The F30 has the advantage of speed, last 3 frames and lower noise over iso 400 (can be mostly solved though with Noiseware ). It's zoom button is on the rear near your right thumb which is a bonus when zooming with the adapter cable release on.Neilps I have images taken at higher iso's if anyone is interested</blockquote>
