Fuji X100 - mini high ISO test

[Jamie Pillers]

Here is a one-shot high ISO test of my new Fuji X100. The exposure was made at f/2 and ISO 3200. The first image is the full frame. The second is a 100% crop from the center, and the last is a 100% crop from the upper left corner.

Looks good for 3200!

What is real ISO?

First, I am a very satisfied x100 owner... I'm not trashing the camera.

The problem is that the stated ISO readings in the X100 are very optimistic. What is calls 3200, is probabaly closer to 2000.

This might be a new record for you Jamie in terms of keeping a camera! You've had this baby at least a month 😉

Thanks for posting, the high iso performance certainly seems to be quite good! I hope you're enjoying the X100!

Mike,
How did you figure this out? Comparing to a light meter reading? I haven't yet paid attention to this issue.

Dang it... caught in the act!!

I plan to read it someday... when I'm too old for street shooting and too senile to be trusted with my whittlin' knife. 🙂

Has it been THAT long??... I better check Henry's return policy quick!

Ray and Kent... get back to work! Its the middle of the day, for crying out loud!

As good as 3200 is on the X100 when you look really closely it's a little bit smeary IMO.

Still pretty amazing though!

I truly haven't noticed this... even at 100%. Perhaps at f/2, but not at other apertures in my experience.

that corner crop looks a bit terrible... but not too bad for a pancake f2 wide

Jamie, I used the meters in two other cameras to compare with the X100.

Really? Seems pretty good to me.

And I just noticed the camera shoots 3:2 not 4:3....im even more tempted now. I hate 4:3 for street stuff. Great for studio but everything else.....
