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 the 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 detail is pretty good despite the grey overcast weather, a little above average for a 10MP camera.

----



Our garden wall is looking a bit bent at the wide angle end of the zoom range. It's interesting to compare with the 10MP, 12x zoom Panasonic TZ7, which costs around £280.

----



Centre sharpness is pretty good, but I've seen better.

----



Corner sharpness is also pretty good, with little sign of chromatic aberration or Fuji's usual bugbear, purple fringes.

----



Considering it has a 1/2.3-inch 10MP sensor, the dynamic range isn't too bad. There's still a little shadow detail, and the highlights are intact.
