Compact digital camera resolution comparison
![]() |
To measure resolving power we photographed
our test chart with each camera set to its best quality JPEG settings. We
then set the lenses to an aperture of f8 (or closest where the compact didn't
allow it). The crops are taken from the originals and presented here at
100%. Each number represents 100 lines per picture height (lpph), so a figure
of 18 means a resolution of 1800 lpph. In this technical test, the Sony N1 leaps ahead of its rivals, resolving 1900 lpph. Again, the Fujifilm F11 is second, followed closely by the Canon A620, with the Pentax S6 trailing behind. |
