Your detailed reply is very important to me, Abambo, especially because when I inspect the RAWs for the rejected images (actually, any images) it shows more noise than my eye wants to see. Even if a tripod was used. (I am aware about this RAW-preview features, but it does not the fact.)

It's a fact that some cameras produce more noise than others. Knowing what your camera make & model's optimal settings are can go a long way towards helping you take you better pictures.

Likewise, knowing how to remove noise from existing images in Lightroom & Photoshop can take your post-editing skills to the next level.
