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.





This is the full frame at 50 ISO.





At the minimum 50 ISO setting, the image quality is extremely good. That blue line is a reflection.





Still very high quality at 100 ISO.





At 200 ISO however there is visible noise in the darker areas of the shot.





Noise is a bit worse at 400 ISO, with reduced detail and contrast.





At 800 ISO the colour rendition is affected and image quality is lowered significantly.





Most fine detail has been lost at 1600 ISO, and colour is badly affected.





3200 ISO is pretty much unusable.





The maximum 6400 ISO setting is a virtually useless gimmick.





This is the full frame at 6400 ISO.
