Canon EOS 550D - Test Shots - ISO Performance

Over the next few pages we show a range of test shots. On this page the full size image at the minimum and maximum ISO settings have been reduced to let you see the full image, and a series of full resolution crops have taken from original images at a range of ISO settings to show the overall image quality. These pictures were taken indoors using reflected natural light.

----

This is the full frame at 100 ISO.

----

At the minimum ISO setting the image quality is flawless.

----

It's the same at 200 ISO...
----

...and at 400 ISO

----

There's a tiny hint of noise at 800 ISO.

----

At 1600 ISO the 550D is producing less noise than the EOS 7D.

----

There is noise at 3200 ISO, but the image quality is still pretty good.

----

Only at 6400 ISO does noise really become a deal-breaker.

----

This is the full frame at 6400 ISO
