The overall detail could be better. A lot of really fine detail is obscured by image noise, even in this 80 ISO shot.

----



The L830's lens does produce some barrel distortion at the wide angle end, but it's not too terrible.

----



Centre sharpness is very good, but again image noise is plainly visible.

----



Corner sharpness is also pretty good.

----



No trace of pincushion distortion in this telephoto shot.
