A range of test shots are shown over the next few 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.

Full-sized versions of some of the following images can be downloaded in a new window by clicking on the sample shots as indicated. However be aware that the average file size is over 2MB, so those on very slow connections will experience some delay.

At the minimum 80 ISO the image is nice and clear, but a little dark since it was below the minimum shutter speed.

Just one third of a stop higher at 100 ISO and there is some colour speckling in the darker areas, but the level of detail is still good.

At 200 ISO the exposure is noticeably better, although there is still colour noise in the darker areas.

At 400 ISO the exposure is brighter, and the level of image noise is only slightly increased.

At 800 ISO there is a sudden drop in the level of detail, as the noise reduction system blurs and resharpens the image.

At 1600 ISO there is significant image noise, but the overall quality and level of fine detail is still not too bad and would print fairly well.
