I just bought the DC280 after reading reviews and downloading images and printing them out on my Epson Photo 700 printer. I was happy with the results of the pictures when I viewed them on my monitor. When I went to print them out on photo paper all the noise in the pictures became apparent. After looking at the printout I can spot the noise in the pictures on the monitor and have become an expert at it now. My pictures where taken outside and inside in various light conditions. I printed out the images from imaging resource and Kodak's website and those pictures did not show any noise so it is not the printer. (They printed out great!) So have many of you printed out your pictures and what are the results? Do you feel that my camera is defective or is it me the camera person that is! Thanks for your input. NN
