I find taking pictures in RAW makes a significant difference compared to plain jpeg. Even when converting a RAW to jpeg, the converted jpeg always looks beter than the jpeg shot straight from the camera.
You should have got some RAW decoding software with your 350D which lets you change many paramters and convert it to jpeg.
With regards to noise (grain is analog cameras btw
):
As you know, increasing the ISO of the camera will increase noise - this is all to do with the CMOS sensor and therefore what lens you put on it will not change this.
However noise can be created through imperfections in the lens, before it gets to the sensor.... therefore a better lens will give less noise... but not to the extent a better sensor will give less noise.
