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.

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