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 the minimum ISO setting.
At 80 ISO the image is sharp and impressively big, but there are traces of noise in the darker areas.
Noise is reducing shadow detail at 100 ISO.
The noise reduction is starting to blur fine detail at 200 ISO.
Noise reduction blurring has reduced the level of fine detail and tonal distinction even further.
The image is quite noisy at 800 ISO, and colour rendition is also starting to degrade.
All shadow detail is gone at 1600 ISO. Can you make out the tread on the spare tyre?
3200 ISO is available at 3MP, but the image quality is very poor. You can't even make out the edge of the spare tyre in the darker area.
This is the full frame at maximum ISO.

...ah, of course I should have read on to the end for the answer ("There are better cameras with smaller numbers on them"), silly me!
