| Of course, every response is right. I have no doubts that any sharpenning (via software, in camera or PP) will increase noise levels, especially in shadow areas. My point is (I should have stated it in my original post) is that my istD is not as noisy using the same settings, except of course, the final resolution.
Yes, indeed I used JPEG capture mode (finest ****) at 14 megapix. Exposure was with FA 16-45 at f/16 and 1/320 sec. ( I used close aperture because my original testing was gonna be about sharpness). Focal length was at full wide (16 mm).
BTW, I also agree that shooting RAW will give the best possible results, but to be honest, I'm a bit lazy for doing PP.
Thanks to everyone for your responses.
