Canon PowerShot A2000 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.

----



This is the full frame at the minimum sensitivity setting of 80 ISO.

----



At 80 ISO the image quality is pretty much flawless, as good as any other 10MP compact on the market.

----



Still no problems at 100 ISO.

----



There is a little bit of chromatic noise at 200 ISO, but nothing to worry about.

----



The chromatic noise has been cleaned up, and the picture quality at 400 ISO is very good.

----



Noise is becoming obtrusive at 800 ISO, but there is still some fine detail and colour balance is accurate.

----



1600 ISO is pretty noisy, but the noise has a film-grain quality that is not unattractive.

----



This is the full frame at the maximum manual sensitivity setting of 1600 ISO.
