Olympus SP-560UZ - 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 my 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.

Compare this with the results from the Fuji S8000fd and Panasonic FZ-18.

----



The level of barrel distortion at wide angle is quite a bit lower than the SP-550UZ.

----



Centre sharpness is excellent.

----



Corner sharpness is also much improved over the earlier model.

----



There is still some pincushion distortion at the telephoto end, but not quite as bad as the 550UZ.
