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 size image at ISO 64

The lowest setting of ISO64 is noise free

ISO 100 provides similar results to the above

Good results can still be had at ISO 200

Minimal image noise begins to creep in at ISO 400

ISO 800 shows some slight blotchiness, but the Noise Reduction system is kicking in

At ISO 1600 there is noise but the NR does a good job of maintaining quality

ISO 3200 has some loss of detail thanks to the NR

At ISO 6400 the NR is struggling to fight noise and hold detail at the same time
