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 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 level of detail is very poor for an 8MP camera.





The unusual lens produces a lot of barrel distortion at wide angle, but at least the flash coverage is good.





None too sharp in the centre of the frame.





Even less sharp at the edge of the frame, and some chromatic aberration too.
