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. Downloadable file size is approximately 4.7MB.

The level of fine detail isn't as good as one might expect from a 12MP camera, thanks partially to image compression.

----



The lens produces a little wide angle barrel distoirtion, but it's not too severe.

----



Centre sharpness is pretty good.

----



Corner sharpness is also very good, but there is a little bit of purple fringing.
