Nikon CoolPix P50 - 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 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 good, but no better than most other 8MP compacts.

----

The lens produces significant barrel distortion at wide angle.

----

Sharpness at the centre of the frame is good, if a little over-sharpened.

Corner sharpness is also good, but there is some chromatic aberration.

----

The lens produces slight pincushion distortion at the telephoto end.
