This page shows 100% crops of the above image taken at each major ISO setting available on the Nikon D3x. This is part of a comparison test with theSony A900andCanon 5D MKII. The main page of the report can be foundhere, and should be read prior to evaluating these images.

Please note that the Nikon D3x’s ISO 100 and 200 frames are a bit soft due to camera vibration. Unlike the Canon and Sony the Nikon does not allow mirror lock-up and self timer simultaneously, so touching it to release the shutter at these slow shutter speeds caused some vibration and thus blur. This should not affect noise analysis in any way.
