Outdoor portrait: Slightly muted color
and soft focus. Bumping the saturation in an image-editing program would
help the color, but with the detail, "what you see is what you'll get." |

Indoor portrait, no flash: The PDR-2's white
balance isn't as aggressive as some, with the result that this incandescent-lit
shot has a warmer color balance than with some other cameras. Nonetheless,
this picture shows that the camera can take acceptable pictures in well-lit
indoor conditions, even without a flash. |

|
House shot: Decent detail, with some aliasing
evident in the bricks. This shot also reveals some loss of detail and exposure
falloff in the corners. (Check the sub-VGA version
of this image for a same-price comparison though!) |

"Musicians" poster: Good tonal
range, with slight loss of detail in the highlights. Good skin tones. |
|
|
|
Macro shot: Very nice close-up capability!
Since the camera is a fixed-focus device, you can't move in or out very
much to accommodate different-sized subjects, but for small subjects, the
performance is excellent. |

"Davebox" test target: Strong
colors are fairly bright, but limited tonal range. Tendency to lose highlights
is evident in white-on-white area in lower right-hand corner, and in the
missing detail in the pastels of the Q60 color target. |

"WG-18" resolution target: (Technoids
only) - Visual resolution of ~350-375 line pairs/picture height. Interestingly,
aliasing is much less evident in the horizontal patterns than in the vertical. |

|
Viewfinder accuracy/flash uniformity target:
Although the eyeglass-wearing tester had a hard time seeing the framing
marks, the viewfinder was actually one of the most accurate we've tested!
With glasses off, the framing marks were much more visible, even if the
subject wasn't. ;-) |
