Yes, the starburst effect is off the camera! I do have 9mp copies, but they're a bit large to post on here, weighing in at four megabytes.
A reasonable amount of post processing was performed to get the colours I was after, but there was nothing done beyond levels and USM.
I am really enjoying the camera, it offers much more flexibility over my old S5000. Having a 28 - 300mm lens and a decent choice of ISO is great.
Thanks for the reply
