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.
I'm honestly baffled as to why you'd have grainy photos at 100 ISO. It makes no sense. I don't know where the problem is stemming from.
