Camera Test Sample Images

Images captured by today's digital cameras are of such high quality that it is virtually impossible to see the differences revealed by our tests in print. To help you judge the results of our tests for yourself, this archive includes full-resolution ISO and aperture sequences of our lab test scene captured using the camera models covered in the text.

Click on the ISO speed or aperture setting to open the corresponding image. Due to the unreliable nature of color reproduction in Web browsers, we recommend that you save the files locally and view them using your favorite image processing program. These images are copyrighted - reproduction or distribution in any form is strictly prohibited.

In addition to our lab-based JPEG test images, we also shot a sequence of RAW test images that are included here. Some of our test cameras are so new that the corresponding RAW formats are not yet supported by Lightroom and other popular RAW converters and have to be opened using the manufacturers' own software. For legal reasons, we cannot include these proprietary programs with our free online content. Please contact the individual manufacturers or check their support pages on the Web for more information.
