Nikon COOLPIX S2600 - Sample Images: ISO Performance

Images displayed below are the same crop of the above still-life image.

ISO 80 - Little noise or distortion is evident at the lowest setting.

ISO 100 - At the next lowest setting, images are still clean and lacking in noise.

ISO 200 - Noise begins to creep in, with attempts at noise reduction resulting in distortion of fine detail.

ISO 400 - A speckling and smudging effect starts to feature at the next ISO setting.

ISO 800 - Although images appear less grainy at ISO 800, noise reduction results in a harsh softening of fine detail.

ISO 1600 - Images appear unsightly at ISO 1600, with a purple tint appearing alongside a harsh mottled grain.

ISO 3200 - This setting is at a reduced 3MP resolution, and is best avoided entirely.
