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 the minimum ISO setting.





At 64 ISO the image quality is very good, with smooth tones and no noise.





No real problems at 100 ISO either.





Already at 200 ISO there is visible noise and colour mottling.





Noise levels are worse at 400 ISO, but overall colour balance isn't badly affected.





The noise reduction system kicks into overdrive at 800 ISO, reducing the level of detail.





1600 ISO is the maximum setting at full resolution, but the image quality is terrible.





3200 ISO is available at 3MP, but why would you want it with quality like this?
