Sony Alpha A500 - 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 reflected natural light.

----

This is the full frame at 200 ISO.

----

At the minimum ISO setting the image is clean and sharp.

----

Still nice and clear at 400 ISO.

----

Still no problems at 800 ISO.

----

A bit of noise is starting to show through at 1600 ISO, but the image quality is still quite usable.

----

More noise at 3200 ISO, but there is still plenty of fine detail.

----

Image quality is starting to suffer at 6400 ISO, but colour rendition is still OK.

----

Image quality is pretty ropey at 12800 ISO, as well it might be.

----

This is the full frame at maximum ISO.
