No cathedral window picture today on account of the awful weather, but here's the shot of Sidmouth seafront that I normally use for DSLR tests. Click on the image to download a full-size version, but be aware that the file is 3.2MB.

It's interesting to compare this with the same shot taken on a Canon EOS 550D. As you can see the level of fine detail isn't as good, and there's a general overall softness.

Not too much barrel distortion at wide angle...

...and centre sharpness is fairly good...

...but there is significant blurring ant chromatic aberration in the corners of the frame.
