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.





At the minimum sensitivity settig the image is clean and sharp.





No major problems at 100 ISO.





200 ISO and already there is visible noise spoiling the image.





Noise is worse at 400 ISO.





Fine detail is lost to the noise at 800 ISO.





At 1600 ISO the image quality is pretty poor but at least colour balance isn't too bad.
