A range of test shots are shown over the next three pages. Here, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, and a crop taken from the original full resolution image has been placed below it in order for you to gain an appreciation of the overall quality. The following pages consist of resized images so that you can evaluate the overall exposure. For those with a dial-up connection, please be patient while the pages download.









1/35th, f3.5, ISO 50
At the lowest ISO setting, the image quality is as good as its going to get. There’s no image noise as such, but there are compression and processing artefacts plainly visible.




1/45th, f3.5, ISO 100
At 100 ISO the image is still largely noise-free, and the image is virtually indistinguishable from the previous one.




1/80th, f3.5, ISO 200
At 200 ISO there is now visible image noise in the mid-tone areas of the image, although it is fairly well controlled. The processing artefacts are more noticeable though.




1/160h, f3.5, ISO 400
At the maximum ISO setting the image is now very noisy in all areas, and colour fidelity is starting to suffer. It would be best to avoid this setting.
