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, the minimum setting.





At the minimum ISO setting the picture is clear and sharp, with barely a hint of colour noise.





Little difference can be seen at 100 ISO.





Some light noise is visible at 200 ISO, but image quality is still pretty good.





Noise is becoming a real problem at 400 ISO, with most fine detail now lost.





At 800 ISO noise is now very bad, with colour distortion and artefacts.





Saturation is almost gone and image noise has destroyed all fine detail.





3200 ISO is only available at 3MP, and picture quality at this setting is terrible.





This is the full frame at 3200 ISO.
