It grants a spot in ISO 3166-1, a directory compiled by the Geneva-based International Standards Organisation.
Additionally, the D3100's ISO range can expand to a Hi-2 setting of ISO 12, 800, furthering the opportunities for low-light shots that other cameras miss.

So... hyperbole aside, the FX30 is thin and features a 3.6x LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT optical zoom lens, 7.2 megapixel CCD, Mega OIS optical image stabilization, Venus Engine III image-processing for shooting at ISO 1250, and a 2.5-inch 207k pixel LCD (the L74 throws down 230k pixels) with "Power LCD" to boost brightness by 40% (at the expense of battery life) when outdoors.

There's a 12-megapixel CMOS sensor with a DIGIC 5 processor and an ISO range of 80-6400.
The camera also includes features that should appease more-advanced users, such as a dedicated mode dial, a versatile lens ring control, a top ISO sensitivity of 25, 600 and a 6 frames-per-second burst mode.
Lastly, the the Coolpix S570 is the basic model of the group, with a 12.0 megapixel ISO 3200 sensor behind a 5x four-way VR lens and a 2.7-inch LCD.

Other fun facts include Pentax's claim that the camera is the thinnest to offer a 3-inch touchscreen and 3x optical zoom, along wth a 3200 ISO, SDHC compatibility and 20MB of built-in memory.

Pentax lines up most of the same specs for its Optio M30, even including that off-the-chain -- and we're sure incredibly grainy -- 3200 ISO, but instead of a touchscreen, this M30 concentrates on a 0.7-inch thick aluminum body and a fancy auto-macro mode for spiffing up those closeups.

The shooter sports a pop-up flash, has its ISO notched up 16000, a revamped Bionz processor for noise reduction and even packs support for Sony's Triluminos display tech.
There's no optical image stabilisation, but we're thinking the ISO is a pretty good trade-off.
It's still not clear at what distance the exchange was intercepted -- while the passive ISO 14443 tag is spec'd with a read distance of only 2-milimeters you'll find claims of reads at several meters.
In addition to T-02D's ISO 25600-equivalent high sensitivity, the phone also comes equipped with a nighttime mode that allows users to take beautiful photos at night while minimizing camera shake and noise, two problems commonly encountered with previous low-light photography technology.
It comes strapped with a 3.5-inch touchscreen on the back, 80 to 800 ISO range, 1.5 0.6fps capture rate, and a mind-boggling 480MB max file size per image.

Sure, noise is the "biggest problem" with the 810 -- quite visible at ISO 400 until becoming a "distinct texture" by the time you reach IS0 3200.
That's essentially what you can do with the Canon 5D Mark III -- with a top sensitivity of ISO 102, 400, what was once unfathomable could soon become an acceptable standard.
Because the needs of the advanced amateur varies widely, the new CMOS sensor provides a wide ISO range from 100-6400 (expandable from 50-25, 600) to give photographers maximum low-light flexibility yielding clean images with minimal noise and accurate color.

Armed with this technology, the new PENs are outstanding low-light performers with a maximum ISO of 25, 600 and a dynamic range that has also been increased, enabling finer expression of gradations between dark and bright areas with a wider range of intensity.
As far as internals go, the unit features a 16.1 megapixel APS-C sensor (like last year), boasting a top ISO of 16, 000 and new Bionz image processor.

Predictably, low light performance was quite good thanks to its 24.3-megapixel sensor with a max native ISO of 25, 600.
The grubby, high-ISO 1080i video above can't transmit this experience -- all we could do is zoom in on a detail and then zoom out again to show how small a proportion it was of the total image.

Herschel's cryostat approach to cooling was evolved from a previous Esa mission - the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), which operated in the 1990s.
The Venus Engine was also newly developed for the GF6 to attain both high-performance signal processing and noise reduction, achieving a maximum ISO 25, 600 (Extended) making the most of the new sensor.

The Leica M8 doesn't just have a pretty body, nor is it resting on the laurels of its predecessors: it's got a 10.3 megapixel resolution, with a low-noise CCD image sensor that starts at ISO 160 but that can also kick up to ISO 2500.

The patent application also covers what could be controlled using the touchscreen, including settings like the focus detection area, flash adjustment, ISO, white balance, and exposure correction, to name a few -- all of which will surely be welcome to some, but we just hope the touchscreens will be accompanied by at least a few buttons and knobs for us old curmudgeons.

It also touted a sensitivity gain as another advantage, asserting that the Monochrome will have a native ISO of 2, 000 (while using the retro-sounding "ASA" term), more than double that of the Epic-M or X.

The camera's other specs look decent as well: 7.1 megapixel resolution, 3 fps shooting and a new low-power CMOS that Olympus claims reduces noise at high ISO settings.
Besides being almost as thin as a credit card (not really), this award-winning ultracompact boasts a pretty impressive set of features, including a maximum ISO of 4000 (no word on noise at that level, however), 2.5-inch LCD, and Super Shake-Free image stabilization.
