TrustedReviews NewslettersOver 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. The pictures were taken indoors using natural light.
This is the full frame at 80 ISO.
Even at the lowest ISO setting there is visible colour mottling.
100 ISO produces very similar results.
There is visible noise at 200 ISO.
Lots of noise at 400 ISO. Some areas have completely lost colour, while others have spurious colour artifacts.
Image quality is very poor at 800 ISO, with little fine detail and lots of colour distortion. Look at the pixel-binning effect between the red and green panels on the left.
1600 ISO is the highest full-size setting.

This is the full frame at 3200 ISO.

lifethroughalens - If I didn't review the less-than-perfect cameras, people wouldn't know not to buy them. However to be fair to Samsung, the NV100HD isn't really a ... more

With 14MP, this sensor size and this price the camera should be real crap. I think 5MP would be a lot nicer.
