This was not a hard test to perform but the results were consistent (kind of). I think this was surprising to me. Here is the test I performed. I turned the led on to see when the camera sensed motion so I had dipswitch 4 and 6 on only. Then I set the camera up and waited 15 minutes to make sure there was no residual charge in the flash. Then I timed the time from the LED showing motion detected until the flash flashed. I noticed that it was on the second motion sensing that the camera actually took a pic. Then I kept moving and timed how many photos I could take in 1 minute with the flash. I repeated 3 times with each camera. My battery was fully charged before I started. Here's the results. Anyone want to try this test and post their results here.
Sony W80 first flash pic was in 8-10 seconds and it took 12-15 photos in 1 minute.
Sony W150 first flash pic was in 9-12 seconds and it took 12-14 photos in 1 minute.

The timing is pretty close. Is there anything about either camera that would tilt you to prefer one over the other?
-
For the same price the w150 has more megapixels and is easier to make a case for. I thought the timing would be alot faster. I am sure it is if it doesn't need to use the flash on the first pic. Just remember the 150 has a bigger lens and needs different lens extension tube

So you use the same Yeti control board with both cameras?
-
Yes, I use the board setup for the W80 camera.

My current testing shows that with flash the W80 takes a photo about every 4 seconds and the w150 is about every 6 seconds. FYI
