Canon EOS 7D - 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 100 ISO.

----

The live view contrast detection AF system has missed a bit here, but the image quality is flawless.

----

200 ISO...

----

400 ISO...

----

800 ISO. There's a hint of mid-tone noise, but only just.

----

Again a light burr of noise at 1600 ISO, but this is a perfectly usable shot.

----

Still no serious problems at 3200 ISO. The noise is there, but it's smooth and well controlled.

----

Noise is quite visible at 6400 but it looks like film grain. Tonal gradients are still smooth there's still plenty of detail.

----

Contrast is fading at 12,800 ISO, but this is far from hopeless.

This is the full frame at 12,800 ISO.
