Here's my usual detail test shot, the West Window of Exeter Cathedral. See below for a full res crop, or click to see the whole picture.





Compare this detail shot with the results from the Casio EX-Z75 or Nikon S500. The level of detail is much lower than I would have expected, especially considering the quality of the lens. There is very little fine detail, for instance the anti-bird net is barely visible.





The IXUS 75's lens is excellent, producing virtually zero distortion at the wide-angle end, and good centre sharpness.





This is a corner crop from the above image at 100 percent magnification. The sharpness only fades in the furthest corner, although there is a little chromatic aberration visible.
