Here's the usual test shot of the west window of Exeter cathedral to compare detail and sharpness with other cameras. See below for a full-res crop or click to download the full-sized version.
The level of detail is very high, but it's not that much better than a good 10 or 12 megapixel camera.
The lens is very good, producing very little distortion at wide angle.
Centre sharpness is excellent.
There is a bit of blurring at the far corners of the frame, but no noticeable chromatic abberation.
