A range of general test shots are shown over the next two pages. In some cases, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, and a crop taken from the original full resolution image has been placed below it to show the overall image quality.

It's interesting to compare this 10MP image with the results from the 7MP Casio EX-Z75 from last week. The advantage of those extra 3MP in fine detail really isn't that great.

The Canon's lens is excellent, producing pin-sharp detail and virtually no barrel distortion at wide angle.

This is a corner crop of the above image. The sharpness only really drops off in the extreme corner of the frame.

The wide angle end of the zoom range is only 37mm, which is about average. The full-size version of this image is 5.4MB, which is unfortunately too large for for our download system at present.

The telephoto end is equivalent to 111mm which is also about average, but great for close-ups. The full-size image is over 4.4MB.
