Compact digital camera corner sharpness comparison
 |
To measure corner sharpness we photographed
our test chart with each camera set to its best quality JPEG settings. We
used the lenses at their widest and longest focal lengths and with various
apertures; note compact cameras often have limited aperture options, preventing
us from always selecting the same settings. The crops are taken from the
lower left corner of the chart and presented here at 100%. The Canon A620 is sharpest overall in its corners, although the Fujifilm F11 comes close, especially at wide angle. Sadly, despite being pin sharp in the middle, the Sony N1 is let down by soft corners, although closing the aperture helps. Note the Pentax only has two aperture settings. |
