Nikon CoolPix S225 - Test Shots - Detail and Lens Performance

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 poor lens quality and high compression factor mean poor detail.

----



Without the Distortion Control feature, the lens produces a lot of barrel distortion.

----



Distortion control corrects that, but it can't do much about the generally low lens quality.

----



Even at the centre the lens isn't sharp.

----



Uncorrected the corner sharpness is very poor.

----



Even with correction is't still not good.
