Ricoh CX3 - 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. These pictures were taken indoors using shaded natural light.

----


This is the full frame at 80 ISO.

----


At the minimum ISO setting the image quality is excellent.

----


Image quality is still very high at 100 ISO.

----


There is a trace of noise at200 ISO but overall quality is still very good.

----



Noise reduction is starting to to creep in at 400 ISO, but the image is still usable.

----


Quality is much reduced at 800 ISO.

----


Noise is very visible at 1600 ISO, and colour saturation and smoothness is severely compromised.

----




3200 ISO is pretty terrible and should be avoided.

This is the full frame at 3200 ISO.
