Samsung i8 - 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.

The level of fine detail isn't as good as some other recent Samsung compacts, but it's not too bad.

----



The lens performs reasonably well, with relatively little barrel distortion.

----



Centre sharpness is good.

----



Corner sharpness is also good, but there is a little chromatic aberration visible here.

----



There is some purple fringing visible in this shot...

...but it's not too disasterous and would look OK on a small print.
