Distortion

Chromatic Aberration

The WG-2 suffers from extreme aberration at times. Even the center of the frame isn't safe, but it's particularly problematic at the telephoto setting on the left side of the frame. In real-world terms, this means that photos will have ugly color fringing along tree branches and other high-contrast areas. This is one of the worst aberration scores we've recorded in recent memory.

Distortion

At least distortion isn't a problem. Like most point-and-shoots these days, the WG-2 earned our top distortion score. Straight lines will look straight, no matter what the focal length.
