For detailed, nonmacro types of shots, the E-30 exhibits an excellent noise profile up to ISO 800, with a minimal degradation in detail at ISO 800. Shots taken at ISO 1600 start to look a bit soft, but remain usable, and at ISO 3200 you start to see some color noise as well as artifacts from the noise suppression algorithms. However, depending upon the content of the photos, they may be surprisingly good even at ISO 3200 (see subsequent slides).
