Panasonic Lumix TZ3 - Test shots - Detail and lens perfomance

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.

----

There is a hint of softness, but the overall level of detail is superb.

----

The TZ3 has a superb lens, one of the few wide-angle, long-zoom lenses with no noticeable barrel distortion at all.

----

The centre of the image above, at full resolution. Again the picture is a little soft.

----

Corner sharpness is almost as good as the centre.

----

The same building, but this time zoomed in to full telephoto. There is no distortion at this end of the zoom range either.
