Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 - 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.

----

The Carl Zeiss lens provides tons of sharp detail, but some of it is lost in a general graininess.

----

The lens does produce some spherical distortion at wide angle. Surprisingly Sony hasn't yet implemented software correction.

----

Centre sharpness is very good, as you'd expect.

----

Corner sharpness is also excellent, with no chromatic aberration.
