Sigma DP2 - 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 base setting of ISO50 image quality is very high, with excellent colour and reasonable detail.

----

There's not much difference to the image at ISO100, there's a very slight increase in contrast and sharpness.

----

Images at ISO200 are still silky smooth, though colour saturation is slightly lower.

At ISO400 there's the first evidence of slightly gritty luminance noise, meanwhile colour accuracy slips further.

----

By ISO800 it's very obvious that strong noise reduction is removing colour leaving quite pronounced gritty noise.

----
/94/163595/1ca3/11079-dp2iso1600crop.jpg
Noise reduction is letting through colour blotches and shadow detail is blocking up.

----
/94/5b5b46/19b6/11079-dp2iso3200crop.jpg
At ISO3200 there's more of the same and it's not particularly attractive.

----
/94/b0f992/e9b2/11079-dp2iso3200600.jpg
This is the full frame at ISO3200.
