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 minimum ISO.





Even at 64 ISO there is some colour mottling visible.





Not much difference at 100 ISO.





The effects of noise reduction are visible at 200 ISO. There's less colour mottling, but also less detail.





At 400 ISO the noise reduction has really kicked in, blurring our fine detail and edge definition.





At 800 ISO the image quality is going rapidly downhill.





Shockingly poor quality at 1600 ISO.





Why even bother with a setting like this. It's like that setting on your toaster that always burns the toast.





This is the full frame at 3200 ISO.
