Here are a few images that accurately reflect the abilities
of any given camera model. The images are altered only in
terms of size and sharpness after reduction and by the JPEG
compression used. Unless otherwise mentioned, assume that
any marbling or artifacts visible in the images are due to
the compression required to display them here. We feel however,
that they still faithfully represent the results we experienced.
STILL LIFE PHOTO
This scene was photographed indoors in a room lit by natural light.
The camera flash is used to add fill light.
This photo is taken at the widest setting of camera's zoom
lens. When viewed at 100 percent in an image editor, the picture
is noisy at the edges and especially in the sheer curtains
in the background. Objects in the photo appear soft. Colors
are true.

ZOOM STILL LIFE PHOTO
This shot tests the camera's zoom on the still life scene under
the same lighting conditions.
With the zoom extended to full telephoto, details within
the field of focus are sharp. Image stabilization was turned
on in this photo. Test photos without it were blurred due
to camera shake.

MACRO PHOTO
This is macro test shot. The test object is about 4.5
inches wide by 3.5 inches high.
Some secondary lighting for the object was provided by a
desk lamp with a 75-watt clear fluorescent bulb. At 100 percent
in a photo editor, this shot is very grainy and noisy, even
though it was taken with relatively low ISO of 100.
BUILDING
PHOTO
This is an outdoor test shot. The house has
lots of fine detail in the shingles and slate roof, as well
as the architectural design of the doorway.
Even on a coudy day, the A720 managed to capture every detail
of this home. Shingles are sharply defined and at 100 percent
view in a photo editor, event the ice-breakers on the roof
are finely etched. A close look at the dark areas of the evergreen
tree reveal no visible noise.

ZOOM PHOTO
Without moving from the spot that the
building photo was taken, the image of the entrance
to house was captured with the camera's zoom at maximum
telephoto. Detail--especially the peeling paint--is
good, as is the color fidelity. At 100 percent view
in a photo editor, signs of noise can be seen in the
dark corners of the roof and in the shadowed areas behind
the light.
