I opened both pics in PhotoShop and looked at them at 400%. There is
almost no noise in the well exposed areas, such as the white part of
the license plate frame or the light maple wood on the picture frame.
The noise in the shadows seems minimal. The BMW appears to be a bit
dirty :-). Seriously, I don't think you have a problem here. You need
to make some good inkjet prints from a well exposed file interpolated
up to 11 x 17 at 360 dpi during conversion. It's my belief that one has
to evaluate prints rather than screen images to know where ones at at
with digital, or with a scanned film image for that matter.

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?
