A range of test shots are shown over the next few pages. Here, the full size images at the minimum and maximum ISO settings have been reduced for bandwidth purposes to let you see the full image, and a series of crops taken from original full resolution images at a range of ISO settings have been included in order for you to gain an appreciation of the overall quality.

At 80 ISO the image is sharp and impressively big, but there are traces of noise in the darker areas.

Noise reduction blurring has reduced the level of fine detail and tonal distinction even further.

/feb137|75d8_9137-samsungl310wiso800.jpg

The image is quite noisy at 800 ISO, and colour rendition is also starting to degrade.

----

/dbc7a9|1ce8_9137-samsungl310wiso1600.jpg

All shadow detail is gone at 1600 ISO. Can you make out the tread on the spare tyre?

/118b3e|3507_9137-samsungl310wiso3200.jpg

3200 ISO is available at 3MP, but the image quality is very poor. You can't even make out the edge of the spare tyre in the darker area.
