Canon IXUS 980 IS - 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. The pictures were taken outdoors in overcst daylight.

----

Here's the full frame at 80 ISO.

----

At 80 ISO the image is nice and clean with no noise.

----

Still no noise at 100 ISO.

----

There is a little noise in the darker areas at 200 ISO, but it is well controlled.

----

Much the same result at 400 ISO.

----

More noise at 800 ISO, but colour reproduction remains unaffected and there is still good detail.

----

Detail is fading at 1600 ISO, but the image is still printable, which is impressive for a 14MP camera.

----

This is the full frame at 1600 ISO.
