German. The QuickBird sensor is one of the first commercial satellites that provides a submeter resolution. The article presents experiences with the ordering, the quality and pan sharpening of QuickBird data, which were acquired for different purposes in various regions of Germany and Asia. - The ordering process and the characteristics of the four offered products are described. The image characteristics depend mainly on the off-nadir view angle. The influence of slant effects and inclination are shown. Other data quality characteristics of QuickBird images are an induced overcharge in the sensor's charge-coupled devices (CCD) for highly reflective materials like metal of glass and 'rainbow' pixels which occur along objects with high contrast. A big advantage of the available 11-bit data range is the possibility of differentiate further details in areas overthrown by shadow. Another challenging effect is the high and artificial texturing of areas with low reflection that should be very homogeneous.
