Here are some general test shots to help evaluate the camera's overall image quality, including the zoom range of the lens. Some pictures may be clicked to download the full size original image.

The wide-angle end of the zoom range is equivalent to 35mm, not really very wide at all.

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.
