Pentax K10D Digital SLR - 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 minimum setting.

----



Unsurprisingly, image quality at 100 ISO is flawless.

----



Still no problems at 200 ISO.

----



Some mild chromatic noise visible on this 400 ISO shot.

----



Noise is definately more noticeable at 800 ISO, but the general level of detail is still very good.

----



Image quality is reduced still further at 1600 ISO, but the image is still usable, and the grain of the noise is not too destructive.

----



This is the full frame at 1600 ISO. As you can see it is quite presentable.
