Resolution Chart Comparison
Comparison cameras:
- Samsung NV7 OPS (7MP, 7x zoom)
- Canon PowerShot A710 IS (7MP, 6x zoom)
- Fujifilm FinePix F30 (6MP, 3x zoom)
- Kodak V610 (6MP, 10x zoom)
Shots here are of our standard resolution chart (version one or two). This chart allows us to measure the actual performance of the lens and sensor system. It measures the ability of the camera to resolve lines at gradually higher resolutions and enables us to provide a definitive value for comparison purposes. Values on the chart are 1/100th lines per picture height. So a value of 15 equates to 1500 lines per picture height. (Note that on version two of our chart the vertical resolution 1000 - 2000 lines have been horizontally flipped but are otherwise identical). For each camera the relevant prime lens was used. The chart is shot at a full range of apertures and the sharpest image selected.
Studio light, cameras set to auto, settings all factory default. If possible aperture was selected for optimum sharpness. Exposure compensation +0.3 EV to +1.3 EV.

| Absolute res. |
Point at which all lines of a resolution bar are still visible and defined, beyond this resolution loss of detail occurs (below Nyquist frequency). |

They're not very clean at all (there are distinct jaggies and other unpleasant artefacts as you approach the higher frequencies) the NV7's resolution isn't bad at all, and is certainly comparable to other 7MP cameras. |
