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 good, thanks mainly to the excellent lens.

Even at its 28mm-equivalent wide angle, the R8's lens produces almost no distortion.

Centre sharpness is very good.

Corner sharpness is also excellent.
