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. These ISO test images are shot indoors using reflected natural light for maximum consistency.





This is the full frame at 80 ISO, the minimum setting.





At 80 ISO the image quality is excellent, with nice smooth tones and no noise.





At 100 ISO the results are still good, but there is a hint of noise creeping in.





200 ISO and noise effect are starting to reduce overall quality.





400 ISO and the noise reduction has blurred out a lot of fine detail, and colour rendition is also affected.





Image quality is going rapidly downhill at 800 ISO, with a loss of detail and colour depth.





1600 ISO and noise is everywhere.





This is the full frame at 1600 ISO.
