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 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 overall detail could be better. A lot of really fine detail is obscured by image noise, even in this 80 ISO shot.





The L830's lens does produce some barrel distortion at the wide angle end, but it's not too terrible.





Centre sharpness is very good, but again image noise is plainly visible.





Corner sharpness is also pretty good.





No trace of pincushion distortion in this telephoto shot.
