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.





This is the full frame at 80 ISO.





Even at the lowest ISO setting there is some visible image noise





At 100 ISO there is colour mottling in the darker mid-tome areas, and some shadow detail has been lost to noise reduction.





The noise is progressively worse at 200 ISO.





At 400 ISO most fine detail has been lost and the image quality is quite poor.





Worse still at 800 ISO.





Image quality is virtually unusable at 1600 ISO.





As usual the 3200 ISO setting is all but useless.Why bother with a 3200 ISO setting when the results are this bad?





This is the full frame at 3200 ISO.
