There is no such thing as an unmanipulated PEF file, or you wouldn't be able to show an RGB image.

That said, I'd like to see the full resolution frame scaled to an 11x17" print. It's extremely hard to judge what you're seeing relative to a real print when you snip samples like that at 1:1. Scanned film also looks like hell when seen at 1:1 pixel resolution.

There seems to be a fair amount of noise in the pix generated by my DS. 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?
