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 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.

The level of detail isn't great, but it's about average for an 8MP camera.

The 28mm wide-angle lens produces noticeable barrel distortion.

This corner crop from the image above shows that the excellent sharpness of the Leica-branded lens extends right into the corners.

In this wide-angle shot, taken on a day with a clear blue sky, the limited range of the tiny sensor has caused it to burn out to plain white. The 28mm lens is useful for capturing wide scenes though.

This was taken from the same spot as the wide shot above. The telephoto end of the zoom is equivalent to 100mm.
