Canon IXUS 860 IS - Test Shots - Full Res Crops

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. Some other pictures may be clicked to view the original full-size image.

Here's my usual detail test shot of the West Window of Exeter Cathedral, for you to compare with other cameras. See below for a full res crop, or click to see the whole picture.

----



The level of fine detail isn't as good as some other 8MP compacts I've tried, but still isn't bad.

----



The 28mm-equivalent lens produces some barrel distortion, but I've seen worse from less wide-angle lenses.

----



Sharpness at the centre of the frame is excellent.

----



Sharpness only falls off at the very farthest corners of the frame.
