The telephoto end is equivalent to 105mm, about average for a 3x zoom camera.




Colour rendition is superb, with detail visible even in bright saturated areas of colour.




As usual for a small-sensor 10MP camera, dynamic range is limited and highlights are sacrificed in favour of shadow detail.
