    Roger,

    You actually prompted more questions than answers so I thought I'd start a new thread.....

    I am having a horrible time with Noise even at lower ISO's on my D300. I'm shooting RAW but is there something I should be doing to allow the camera to reduce noise

    Ray,

    I'm not having the issue with mine. Can you detail your settings? I've found that if I turn the sharpening up too high in camera (anything above 6 I believe) the images do not look that great. Any full res examples would be helpful too.

    Cheers,

    Mark

    I have all standard out-of-the-box settings except:
    ISO sensitivity auto control = ON
    NEF (RAW) recording Type = ON Lossless Compressed and NEF (RAW) bit depth = 12bit
    JPEG Compression = Optimal (for when I decide to shoot in JPEG)

    Is NR on?

    And ditto about what mPower said...can you link to a downloadable NEF?

    I'd be curious about NR too, however, that only effects ISO 400 800+.

    (get that 24-70 yet Roger?)

    High ISO NR = NORM
    Long Exp. NR = OFF

    That is the setting out of the box. I was under the impression that NR only worked if you were shooting to JPEG.

    Also, I don't know how to link to a NEF. I don't have a place to upload a NEF to. Flickr doesn't let you.

    Too bad you don't know anyone who hosts a web site... ;)

    Ehh no. Circumstances have placed that on hold.
