Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1 noise level comparison
![]() |
To measure electronic noise levels
we photographed the standard Gretag Macbeth ColorChecker at each of the
camera's ISO settings. The crops are taken from the originals and presented
here at 100%. To compare typical noise in skies and dark shadows the crops
were taken from patches 3 and 24 respectively. Noise levels on the R1 viewed at 1:1 are comparable to most budget D-SLRs up to 400 ISO. The R1 becomes much noisier at 800 ISO and above though, epsecially compared to Canon's 350D. Note: the R1's higher resolution means its noise artefacts will be less noticeable than lower resolution cameras though when reproduced at the same size. |
