If you are comparing the image quality in a strict manner, you have to eliminate as many variables as possible. But again, if the testing is for whether I enjoy using this camera, and no more than that, there is no need to a tripod. Both tests, at the most elemental level, and at the aggregate level, are valid. But Tina's tests do not show whether M264 has better image qualities. It tests whether she can produce better results with M264 or not, where the image quality is an aggregate of resolution, dynamic range and other attributes, as well as handling, and other more subjected attributes.
