Over the next few pages we show a range of test shots. On this page the full size image at the minimum and maximum ISO settings have been reduced to let you see the full image, and a series of full resolution crops have taken from original images at a range of ISO settings to show the overall image quality.

This is the full frame at the minimum sensitivity setting of 64 ISO.

At 64 ISO the image quality is excellent, with no visible noise, smooth colours and good detail.

Image quality at 100 ISO is also very good.

There is a little noise visible at 200 ISO, but not enough to cause a problem.

Some fine detail has been lost at 400 ISO, but the overall quality is still pretty good.

At 800 ISO the image quality is reduced, with lots of noise and loss of detail, but the overall colour is still fairly accurate.

Image quality takes a sharp downwards turn at 1600 ISO, with heavy noise and poor colour.

2000 ISO is the highest setting at full resolution, but the quality is terrible.

3200 ISO is available at 5MP, but the results are pretty poor, as is usually the case with these gimmicky high speed settings.

This is the full frame at the maximumsensitivity setting of 3200 ISO.
