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.

The level of detail near the centre of the frame is very good for an 8MP camera.

The centre of the frame is nice and sharp, with good detail.
