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. Please note that this shot was taken at the HQ quality setting, rather than the highest SHQ setting. If I get the chance I'll re-shoot tomorrow and upload new pictures.





Even at the HQ setting, the level of detail is extremely good for a 7MP camera.





The lens produces virtually zero barrel distortion at wide angle, although the corners are a bit soft.





This was shot at the telephoto end of the zoom, and shows no pincushion distortion.
