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 pictures were taken indoors using reflected natural light

This is the full frame at 80 ISO.

At 80 ISO the image quality is excellent, with smooth colour rendition and lots of detail.

Much the same result at 100 ISO.

Still no problems at 200 ISO.

There are signs of noise reduction at 400 ISO, with some loss of fine detail.

At 800 ISO the noise reduction effects take on an almost impressionistic look.

There's a lot of noise at 1600 ISO, but the overall colour isn't too bad.

This is the full frame at 1600 ISO.
