On this shot, we ran a full series of shots at each resolution setting, so you could evaluate the camera's performance in each resolution mode. These shots are arranged in the table below. This image is shot at infinity to test far-field lens performance. In general though, you can evaluate detail in the bricks, shingles, and window detail, and in the tree branches against the sky. The late-fall lighting in this shot produced a rather dark image overall, as the lower sun angle created a stronger highlight on the white areas than the higher, summer sun did in other cameras you may compare this one to.
Contrast is a little high, with the highlights in the Caucasian girl's face a little washed out.
Overall, a very workmanlike performance though. Excellent color and tonal range, although some noise is apparent in the shadow areas. The camera generally appears to do a good job of preserving highlight detail, at some expense to detail in the shadows. We were especially interested to see how the camera handled the wide range of colors in this subject, particularly in light of the somewhat purplish rendering of the model's pants and the blue flowers in the outdoor shot. Whatever the problem revealed by the purplish blues in the portrait shots does not appear to be a general one for the camera.
