Pentax Optio S10 - 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.

Here's my 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.

Unfortunately this shot was taken using the digital anti-shake mode, which has sett the ISO level to 400. Image quality at lower ISO settings is much better as you'll see below.

----



The SMC Pentax 3x zoom lens produces relatively little distortion at wide angle.

----



Sharpness at the centre of the frame is excellent, and at 100 ISO there is much better quality.

----



Edge sharpness is also very good, with barely a hint of chromatic aberration.
