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. Some other pictures may be clicked to view the original full-size image.

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 could be better. The lens is a bit soft and blurs out the finer points.

The lens also produces a lot of distortion at wide angle.

Centre sharpness is not as good as some competitor models.

The corners of the frame are very blurred.
