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.

Centre sharpness is very good.





Corner sharpness is also excellent.
