Sony NEX-6: Image Quality - ISO Tests

Below are our standardised ISO test shots, starting with the Sony NEX-6's lowest standard setting of ISO 100 and rising incrementally to the top setting of ISO 25,600.

ISO 100 – the full test scene

ISO 100 – 100% crop

ISO 200 – 100% crop

ISO 400 – 100% crop
Up until ISO 400 the NEX-6 produces clean, noise-free images.

ISO 800 – 100% crop
Some chroma noise does begin to appear by around ISO 400, although this does tend to be confined to areas of little detail and isn’t a huge problem.

ISO 1600 – 100% crop

ISO 3200 – 100% crop

ISO 3200 – full-size
At higher sensitivities the NEX-6 proves to be effective at processing out noise from shadow areas, with images retaining a good deal of integrity in terms of colour and white balance.

ISO 6400 – 100% crop

ISO 12,800 – 100% crop

ISO 25,600 – 100% crop

ISO 25,600 – full size
