Pentax Optio P70 - Test Shots - Detail and Lens Performance

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. Please note that all these test shots were unforunately shot at full resolution but at the second-highest quality setting. I will update them later this week.

Even at the lower quality setting, the level of recorded detail is very good.

----



The lens (or is it the processing?) produces almost no barrel distortion.

----



Unfortunately AF system seems to have focused on the background...

----



Corner sharpness is good though, with minimal chromatic aberration.
