I would have to agree, I don't see any noise and the image is not very sharp so I would guess you might be seeing some problems with the color shift. As Thomas said I would stop down at least one stop and bump up the shutter to at least 125th.

how was this lit? I think what your seeing as 'noise' are artifacts from your green screen processing.

I light it with 3 85 watt spiral bulbs with umbrella. 3 50 watt clamps lights one for hair light 2 for background.

you may be running up against the limit of your body...

Canon EOS 300D / Digital Rebel Review: 14. Photographic tests: Digital Photography Review

the 300d does have some detectable noise at ISO 400. did you start with RAW, or are these one flavor of JPG? at least the L?

the reason I asked about lighting is that the green reflection from the background also messes with your image a bit, as photokey will fade out the part of her that has the right key color on it, reflected from the background. so you have to make sure the subject is either well lit from the sides, or far enough away to control the reflection :(

Noise Ninja: The gold standard for image noise reduction ? help a bit? I think I see what your unhappy about with your image, but aside from getting a new body, your either gonna need more light to go for lower ISO, or hope you can filter it out in the development process.

On my uncalibrated laptop monitor, these look underexposed. An underexposed digital image taken at any ISO has the opportunity to introduce some effects that look like noise.
