Here are some general test shots to help evaluate the camera's overall image quality, including colour and exposure
/d2c8ae|4d73_8111-PentaxE50collo.jpg
Colour is punchy and saturated but still maintains some subtlety between tones

Exposure is okay for general scenes, but again, the sharpness is lacking

Slightly darker than I'd expect, but the exposure is still acceptable

I used EV-1 to counteract against the dark tones. It could have done with less exposure but the LCD screen is less than helpful in evaluation
