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 image at the minimum sensitivity of ISO80.



This 100% crop shows decent noise control.



ISO 100 maintains the same level of noise control as above.



At ISO 200 noise is still well controlled but images look slightly 'digital'.

ISO 1600 has very visible noise.



At ISO 3200 the image noise is very clear, but better than some.



This is the full frame image at ISO 3200.

I like the Sony H50 and Fuji S8100fd. The Fuji S9600 is no longer being made.

Cheers for replying Andy. I understand that the S9600 is an old camera but to date it hasnt been replaced unless you consider the S100FS - but thats 400 quid. I would have gone w... more
