A range of general test shots are shown over the next two pages. In some cases, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, and a crop taken from the original full resolution image has been placed below it to show the overall image quality.

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 detail is very good for such a cheap camera, mainly thanks to the Pentax lens.

There is some barrel distortion at wide-angle, but I've seen a lot worse.

Centre sharpness is excellent for a budget compact.

Only in the very corners of the frame is there any sign of blurring and chromatic aberration.
