Fujifilm FinePix F30 corner sharpness comparison
 |
|
To measure and compare the Fujifilm FinePix F30's corner sharpness we photographed the Enhanced Digital Camera
Resolution Chart with it and a number of rival models, each using their
best quality JPEG and default image tone and sharpening settings.
We used the built-in lenses at their widest and longest focal lengths and
with various apertures starting from fully open. Note the Panasonic TZ1 and Sony N2 only offer two and three apertures respectively at each focal length, so all are shown in this test.
The crops are taken from
the extreme lower left corner of the chart and presented here at 100%. |
Zoomed-out to wide angle, the FinePix F30 impressively delivers very sharp results at all apertures with little evidence of light fall-off or lower contrast in the extreme corners. Zoomed-into telephoto, the results are also very good, with only a slight softening when the aperture is wide open. This is a very good result for the F30.
Note: crop details which appear smaller here are
due to them being captured with lower resolution cameras and / or a lens
which couldn't focus as close to the chart. In each case though, the crop
still represents the extreme left corner of each camera's frame. |
