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 level of fine detail is very poor for a 10MP camera.




The Leica-branded lens does a good job, producing relatively little barrel distortion at wide angle.
