Things to note:
1) Widest zoom produces some barrel distortion (see top of doorframe in prev. pic.). This is expected.
2) One of the nice things about P&S digicams is the small lenses allow a lot of light in. Check the EXIF data and see how small the f-stop value is here. While you're there, note the ISO sensitivity set at 320 (in DSCs, increased ISO is done by amplifying the sensor's signal).

It's also worth noting that the S85 starts up slightly zoomed in WRT the widest soom (i.e. when you start it up, you can zoom out a bit). I believe that it starts at FLM 50mm - this is considered equivalent to the naked eye's 46° FOV. Using 50mm as a reference, this camera's zoom goes from 0.68x - 2.04x.
