2. This is a photo of the exterior of an airplane cockpit photographed with the lens on the W60 at full telephoto zoom (or, 140mm in 35m terms).:
   
   The level of detail is pretty good.


3. The ISO 200 cat photo is a nice example of a wide-angle perspective of a subject at close range, taken with the lens at 28mm:

   I have to say that there’s almost no trace of purple fringing around the outline of the leaves against the sky — this is indeed good performance by the W60.


4. Two ISO 400 photos show how well the W60 controls noise in images. To me, the noise structure looks more than acceptable, with no undue amount of detail smearing.
