Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd - 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.

----



----



At the minimum setting of 64 ISO the image quality is superb, with no trace of noise and perfect colour rendition.

----



Still very good at 100 ISO.

----



Due to the small sensor there is a some image noise creeping in at 200 ISO, but it would be unnoticeable on all but the largest print.

----



Noise is a little worse at 400 ISO, but still not much to worry about, with plenty of detail left.

----



At 800 ISO the noise reduction system really kicks in and the image quality suffers as detail is sacrificed to reduce noise.

----



At the highest full-resolution setting of 1600 ISO the image quality is considerably lower, with random speckles and poor detail.

----



3200 ISO is available but only at 4MP, resulting in a smaller image size and very poor detail, but it would probably look OK in a small print.

----



Image quality at 6400 ISO is very poor, looking like a still from a webcam, but overall colour and exposure are not too bad.

----




This is the full frame 4MP shot at 6400 ISO.
