100 ISO in bright daylight is still grainy. One lens I have seems worse for it, but they all do to some degree. Same as SebC mentioned. Tough to find a point that doesn't look over-sharpened or soft. Whereas the jpg version (I have the camera set up in raw + jpeg mode) doesn't look grainy.

Here's an example:

JPEG:



RAW: (Default sharpening/noise reduction settings, Photoshop CS5)
(blues and vibrant greens seem to be the worst culprits)



If I crank up the noise reduction (luminance) it helps, but at sacrifice of clarity.
