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 excellent despite the overcast weather, and the low compression rate preserves a lot of it.
The lens is nice and sharp, but there is some distortion at wide angle.
Centre sharpness is superb.
There is a little blurring in the far corners of the frame, and also some traces of chromatic aberration.
