Here you can compare the four images as shot by the camera. The top two use optical zooms only for nominal magnifications of 10:1 and 16:1. The bottom two add a further 2.7:1 of digital zoom, resulting in nominal magnifications of 27:1 and 43.2:1. The two pictures at right show that adding the teleconverter results in some loss of color saturation.
The good news here is the quality of all these images looks reasonable, so if I need to use the longest zoom I can (for instance, to take pictures of a ball game at Shea Stadium from the distant seats).
But to get a good idea of the quality that the camera is generating, we need to see the actual pixels. That's what the next series of shots shows.
