Noise Results at ISO 100

Based on test results and graphs from DxO Analyzer 2.0 software, you can see that noise levels at low ISO 100 are significantly higher than you would find on most DSLRs, and signal to noise ratio is lower. That's to be expected from a CCD sensor with so many pixels that are far smaller than those found in a DSLR. As a result, there is already some signal boosting going on to increase the base ISO to a tolerable ISO 100.
