I can relate to most of the things you stated. I personally haven't done any denoising to my footage yet because I like to use FilmConvert over my footage and to remove the monochromatic grain/noise and add filmgrain back in later will give me, for as far as I know, a slightly softer image then just leaving it as it was. The biggest thing I noticed between, let's say the 5D MKIII, and the T3i is that the 5D looks almost like an Epic at 1080p but the T3i looks more like 16mm film. The 5D's image is just stunningly clean. I haven't seen that yet on the T3i.
I recently shot my vacation for a filmcontest in RAW and because I didn't really need shots longer than 30 seconds I shot everying in 1216x512 (2,39:1) to give me just a bit more resolution, and later upscale to 1280x539 for YouTube. I could shoot for up to max 40-45 seconds at that resolution, which was more than enough. I used Sandisk 32GB & 16GB 45mb/s cards, maybe something you should look into, especially if you upscale to 1080p.
Hope to see some denoised RAW frames soon, really curious.
Oh wow yeah no hack will ever compare to the 5D imaging I want one so badly but I am a broke college student haha. But yeah I did notice the image getting a bit softer after my denoise process. I will share footage soon I want to show it in a decent lit scene a comparison between raw denoise and non denoise as well as straight from camera then really push it with either an underexposed shot or a very poorly lit shot and compare those cause it denoises so well for whatever reason I was so Impressed I also want to compare my color scopes like RGB parade and see if there is any difference between raw or not should be interesting.
