Noise at low ISOs at 100 percent

This is a 100 percent crop from the photo on the previous slide. Taken at ISO 160, there is good amount of noise, and details are soft and mushy, such as her hair and eyelashes, which in some places also looks crunchy from sharpening. Unless you're really looking for it, you'll need to view this image larger than our slideshows will allow to see the noise and the lack of detail. Basically, the 520 HS is fine for small prints and Web use as long as you don't enlarge and heavily crop its photos.
