Looks like oversharpening to me, not noise. Is the sharpening being done in camera? (i.e., what did you mean by "best sharpness"?)

Sharpening in-camera and noise-reduction in camera are kind of opposites of each other. The former is trying to make any differences bigger, and the latter is trying to smooth over differences. I'd recommend turning any sharpening in the camera off, and learn to do that in post-processing.

My thoughts exactly.
The blur was caused by motion during the slow shutter speed, dispite the fact it was on a tripod which eliminates camera shake. And then the in-camera sharpening sharpened the blurry image and made it look like noise. So with this paticular capture, I would use NoiseNinja.

Exactly as I said in my first post...

I use a fuji s5700 and sometimes I end up with a bunch of grainy/noisy shots. And honestly, I am the Auto Mode Princess. I was told in a fuji forum to reset my camera to factory defaults and see if that helps. I was also pulling my hair out and going utterly nuts trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. No matter what shot I took or where or what lighting, every one was noisy. Soooo I have tried it and for some reason, it did help. I think that the fuji just gets its bloomers in a bunch and gives us noisy photos sometimes. Worth a try.
