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 fine detail isn't as good as some other recent Samsung compacts, but it's not too bad.





The lens performs reasonably well, with relatively little barrel distortion.





Centre sharpness is good.





Corner sharpness is also good, but there is a little chromatic aberration visible here.





There is some purple fringing visible in this shot...





...but it's not too disasterous and would look OK on a small print.
