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 ISO 50 the image quality is exceptionally good, with no trace of noise or compression artefacts.

No difference at ISO 100.

Only a tiny hint of colour speckling at ISO 200.

At ISO 400 the image quality is still very good, with only a little visible noise.

The noise is more visible at ISO 800, but overall colour reproduction is still very good.

The noise is more pronounced at ISO 1600, but the colour is still generally good and the is plenty of detail, a remarkable performance for a budget camera.

This is the full-frame image at ISO 1600.
