Noise

The G1 displays very good noise performance up to and including ISO 400. At ISO 800 you can see some softening in the foreground detail, but the background detail--i.e., the tape measure--holds sharpness very well until ISO 3200. Depending upon the content of your scene, the G1's photos can be usable across the entire ISO sensitivity range.
