TrustedReviews NewslettersA 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 minimum ISO.
At 64 ISO there is no visible noise, but there are some compression artefacts visible.
Not much difference at 100 ISO, but there is a little colour noise in the darker areas.
At 200 ISO the overzealous noise reduction is already smearing out fine details.
More of the same at 400 ISO.
At 800 ISO noise is beginning to break through the barricades, and lots of fine detail has been lost.
Noise problems galore at 1600 ISO.
Image quality at 3200 ISO is very bad indeed.
This is the full frame at maximum ISO.
