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 same boring shot of Exeter Cathedral's West Window for detail comparison. I take this same shot with every camera I test. Click on the image to see it full size or look at the 100 percent crop below.





The level of detail isn't bad for a 7.1MP camera.





At the wide-angle end, the lens produces noticeable barrel distortion.





This corner crop from the above image shows the poor edge sharpness of the lens.





Colour reproduction is excellent, and the exposure is also very good.





This corner crop from the top left of the above image shows some rather severe fringing around the highlights, as well as corner blurring.
