Here's the 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.

There is a hint of softness, but the overall level of detail is superb.

The TZ3 has a superb lens, one of the few wide-angle, long-zoom lenses with no noticeable barrel distortion at all.

The centre of the image above, at full resolution. Again the picture is a little soft.

Corner sharpness is almost as good as the centre.

The same building, but this time zoomed in to full telephoto. There is no distortion at this end of the zoom range either.
