Again, absolutely superb detail and resolution, possibly the best we've seen. The differences are subtle, but close inspection reveals a noticeable increase in sharpness in the image shot with the lens stopped-down. In macro mode, autofocus works all the way in, a nice feature missing from some units with fixed-focus macro modes. The macro image here is one of the crispest we've seen, with superior resolution, very good contrast, and razor-sharp focus. The Pro70 did well here, producing clean, natural colors, holding highlight detail very well, but losing the very deepest shadows in the charcoal bricks.
Colors are very natural, but slightly muted, particularly the bright yellow swatch.
The color that is there though, is accurate and clean, and a slight saturation boost in Photoshop post-exposure proved very effective, thanks to the fundamental color purity. We've again shot all resolution modes, this time at both the telephoto and wide-angle ends of the zoom. These shots also show the complete lack of geometric distortion in the Pro70's lens. Flash uniformity from the 380 speedlight was actually a little off relative to some units we've tested, with the corners ending up slightly dark at the wide-angle end of its coverage.
