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.
Near to the centre of the frame the level of sharp fine detail is very impressive.
The Canon lens produces quite a lot of barrel distortion at the wide-angle end.
Centre sharpness is very good...
...but there is a lot of blurring in the corners of the frame, as well as some purple fringing.
The barrel distortion hasn't completely disappeared even at the telephoto end of the zoom range.
