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 about average for an 8MP compact.

Barrel distortion at wide angle is not too severe.

Sharpness is good near the centre of the frame.

Corner sharpness is very poor however, with some chromatic aberration.
