Fujifilm A150 Lens specifications

The Fujifilm A150 is equipped with a fixed lens and it has a focal range of 36-107mm giving it a 3.0 x zoom which isn't exceptional but it would certainly be useful in a few scenarios.

At the widest 36mm, the lens has an aperture of f3.1 which will be kind of slow and not ideal for low light occasions and you will likely struggle to get good bokeh. You will likely also need to boost the ISO which causes noisy photos. Towards the tele end, 107mm comes to f5.6 which is very slow and you would need to set slower shutter speeds.
