Canon EOS D60 read noise vs ISO
The Canon EOS D60 was measured at 5 ISO settings from ISO 100 to ISO 1000. Values are Bill Claff's (Photons to Photos) direct measurements from raw files.
At base ISO (100) read noise is 1.59 DN, or 14.6 electrons at the sensor. From ISO 100 up the camera is effectively ISO-invariant: raising ISO further doesn't meaningfully lower shadow noise. Settings above ISO 800 don't change analog gain (digital push). Full well at base ISO is about 36,426 electrons; unity gain is around ISO 920.
