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.

This is my usual shot to compare digital SLRs. Compare this with similar shots taken on, for example the Nikon D80 or Canon EOS 400D.





This is a full-res crop from the above image.





The SD14 has fantastic dynamic range, capturing a wide range of tones.





There is absolutely no fringing on this high-contrast edge.





This shot was taken in bright sunlight (yes, we finally had some), but the SD14 has coped well with wide the range of brightness.





The superb Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC lens produces extremely sharp detail and virtually no distortion.





This corner crop from the image above shows the excellent corner sharpness.
