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.

/852ae6|4e6a_9030-nikons560min.jpg

This is the full frame at the minimum ISO setting.

----

/e3bab1|3788_9030-nikons560iso64.jpg

At 64 ISO the image is beautifully smooth and noise free.

----

/467e60|4767_9030-nikons560iso100.jpg

Still near perfect at 100 ISO.

----

/b593f0|6862_9030-nikons560iso200.jpg

There is a slight hint of noise at 200 ISO, but not enough to cause a problem.

I think Nikon has used a new noise reduction algorithm here, because the image quality at 400 ISO is excellent.

----

/57bdb7|069b_9030-nikons560iso800.jpg

Some loss of sharpness at 800 ISO, but still plenty of detail and good colour.

----

/6241dc|9bbf_9030-nikons560iso1600.jpg

Amazingly you can still read the lettering on the spare tyre at 1600 ISO.

----

/c0ea39|3bac_9030-nikons560iso2000.jpg

Even at 2000 ISO the image quality is still good enough to print.

----

/020317|fe51_9030-nikons560iso3200.jpg

3200 ISO is available at 3MP. Not too sharp, but the colour rendition is good.

----

/fb96a7|d1cb_9030-nikons560isomax.jpg

This is the full frame at 3200 ISO.
