Exposure is good outside, depth-of-field is fine, and a relatively manageable amount of banding in the sky.
DCP_0291.jpg
(1792x1184, 248.1KB)		 It'll expose 'awkward' subjects pretty well -- backlighting fools it, but when it's shooting something that's near enough all white, it does the right thing. There's a bit of noise visible at top right, and it's showing jpeg compression artefacts in the darker patches of water, but I suspect that's mostly my fault for selecting that quality level.
DCP_0380.jpg
(1792x1184, 242.7KB)		 Colour rendition is very impressive; skin tones come out well (yes, my face was that colour -- it's cold..) and it doesn't seem to have problems with fine details against a bright background (power lines).
DCP_0364.jpg
(1792x1184, 247.7KB)		 View of Banff -- it's almost sad how easy it is to take relatively good pictures here with no skill whatsoever -- point camera at mountain, click, voila.

Again, it has a pretty respectable dynamic range, and isn't thrown off by the slab of white -- the trees are still the right colour. No obvious chromatic aberrations at light-dark transitions, either.
DCP_0384.jpg
(1792x1184, 249.1KB)		 It'll take reasonable close-ups, too -- though, to be fair, the silver and gold bauble here is about a foot across.
DCP_0299.jpg
(1792x1184, 233.8KB)		 More mountains, just because they're there..
DCP_0333.jpg
(1792x1184, 277.2KB)		 Nice resolution -- it's 2.1mpixels, and you can actually gain something from all of them.
DCP_0351.jpg
(1792x1184, 285.1KB)
More close-up stuff -- the 'macro' setting isn't exactly 1:1, but it's certainly close enough to be useful, and it's pretty sharp at this range, too. This is about as close as it ever gets to bokeh...
DCP_0412.jpg
(1792x1184, 257.5KB)		 Another closeup -- bit of haloing around the white text here, but the image is still remarkably crisp, all things considered.
DCP_0415.jpg
(1792x1184, 292.3KB)		 A self-portrait in a mirror with self-timer. The smears are on the mirror, not the camera. Comparing the size to an OM2 here, it may not look a lot smaller, but it's the flat nature of the DC3800 that's handy -- it'll fit into a pocket a lot more easily. Again, no real depth-of-field control here -- it does take decent low-light photos if you use self-timer to get stability, though.
DCP_0418.jpg
(1792x1184, 229.0KB)

Sample shots taken with Kodak DC3800 digital camera. All at 'better' quality = 1792x1184, medium compression.
