A range of test shots are shown over the next few pages. Here, the full size images at the minimum and maximum ISO settings have been reduced for bandwidth purposes to let you see the full image, and a series of crops taken from original full resolution images at a range of ISO settings have been included in order for you to gain an appreciation of the overall quality.





Here's a full-frame image at 100 ISO.





Picture quality at the lowest ISO setting is excellent.





I forgot to use the 2-second self-timer for this one, so despite the tripod and the Mega OIS system I'm afraid it's a bit shaky. No real image noise though.





Colours are starting to fade a bit at 400 ISO, but the level of fine detail is still good.





Even at 800 ISO the picture is still usable, with good colour and detail despite the slightly heavy noise reduction.





At 1250 ISO you could get away with a small print of this and it would still look ok.





This is the full frame at 1250 ISO.
