Canon EOS 5D MkII - 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.

----



This is the full frame at 100 ISO.

----



The focusing appears to be slightly off in this shot, but there is no image noise at all.

----



Still no noise t 200 ISO...

----



....400 ISO...

----



...800 ISO...

----



...1600 ISO. There is a tiny hint of noise in the green channel, but barely enough to notice.

----



At 3200 ISO there is a smattering of noise all over the image, but it is still quite printable.

----



Slightly more noise at 6400, but still plenty of detail.

----



Extended to an uncalibrated 12,800 ISO there is quite a lot of noise, but the banner letters are still readable.

----



At 25,600 ISO the image quality is finally breaking down, as well it might.

----



This is the full frame at 25,600 ISO, which I don't think I've ever typed before.
