…The EX-Z1050 scored class-competitive in resolution. At ISO 80, the EX-Z1050 achieved an Excellent resolution score of 2000, At ISO 400, the EX-Z1050 also scored Excellent (1900). User-selectable ISO goes a full stop further than the EX-Z1000 to ISO 800, and the EX-Z1050 expands the ISO range to a truly usable ISO 800. Resolution takes a dive at ISO 800 due to aggressive blur filtering to contain noise, but the EX-Z1050 still keeps resolution at the Extremely High Rating (1600) and manages noise well at this highest selectable ISO.
