Regardless of ISO setting, the photos from the Tough 8000 lack sharpness. It's better at ISO 64 and ISO 100, but noise reduction hits hard at ISO 200 making details soft and fuzzy. ISO 400 is good enough for small prints and Web use, but I can't recommend using anything above that sensitivity as color noise starts to hurt quality. At ISO 1600 you end up with big purple/blue blotches of color on shots making low-light performance is poor.
