Underexposure will cause a bit of noise. I can't really tell how much noise your camera is generating from these small images. There doesn't appear to be an excessive amount . A good ISO 200 image won't show any noise printed at 13 x19 from a 72 meg upsized file and viewed with the naked eye, but I wouldn't say it's "noise free." Can you post 100% of an image interpolated up to 72 megabytes (max size on from the PSCS RAW converter)?

Here are two examples - each 100% crops - taken directly from unmanipulated
PEF files.  I've noticed this since the very first pix I took.

The first was shot @ 200 ISO, where the DS is supposed to be virtually
noiseless, the second @ 400 ISO.

What could be causing this noise? Underexposure? Some camera setting that needs changing or adjustment? I can clean it up a bit with ACR, but should
that be necessary?
