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. File size 4.4MB

The level of detail is outstanding, even though the 90mm-equivalent focal length doesn't zoom in quite as far as most other compacts.

----

The Leica-branded lens produces very little barrel distortion at wide angle.

----

Centre sharpness is as good as ever.

----

Corner sharpness is also superb.
