Sample Photos

Click on any of the following image samples to see them at full size. If you're on a slow connection, this may take some time to load, as they're very large files.

Wildlife Sample
				Focal length: 24.7mm Aperture: f/5.6 Shutter: 1/200 ISO: 80 This bird was kind enough to stop close by so we could photograph it. While the 4x zoom lens helped us, the shot was more due to its lack of fear of humans.
				While the small version above looks fine, the 100% crops show that the camera chose a rather low shutter speed for the situation.

Food Sample
				Focal length: 6.18mm Aperture: f/5.6 Shutter: 1/800 ISO: 80 The T900 has a dedicated "gourmet" scene mode, which boosts certain colors. While the food does look very good, the reflective white surfaces are all very soft.
				The image on the far left shows the camera's chromatic aberration. The slightly funny looking edge on stalk in the rightmost, is due to the over-sharpening problem discussed in the resolution section.

Macro Sample
				Focal length: 6.18mm Aperture: f/3.5 Shutter: 1/20 ISO: 80 Under bright sunlight, the camera over-exposed these flowers. Intelligent Auto mode correctly guessed that this was a macro situation, but it should have ratcheted down the aperture to avoid over-exposure.
				Even at ISO 80 you can see evidence of noise and artifacting in these images. The crop on the far left shows how the camera over-exposed the highlights.

Detail Sample
				Focal length: 6.18mm Aperture: f/4.5 Shutter: 1/640 ISO: 80 Shooting these buildings shows an important factor of the T900's performance. The buildings towards the edge of the frame curve inwards, which is distortion caused by the lens.
				The 100% crops show the detail the camera is capable of resolving, but also the chromatic aberration on the sides of the buildings.

Low Light Sample
				Focal length: 6.18mm Aperture: f/3.5 Shutter: 1/15 ISO: 3200 This shot was taken at night, using the maximum possible ISO in order to see how the camera handled very dark situations. The white balance was set to incandescent to cope with the yellow illumination of the street lamps. The tiny lens of the T900 was also especially prone to lens flare, as you can see occurring here.
				These images show how the high ISO settings obliterated image detail.

Still Life Examples

The still life shots below are taken at every available ISO, even those at reduced resolution. You can click on the images to see full size versions, but these are fairly large files and will take a while to load. The images were all taken with automatic white balance, which accounts for the variation in color between the photographs.
