Due to the filtering a tiny amount of detail is lost. This frame always had a relatively small amount of visible grain due to the dark background. For light backgrounds the difference is pretty obvious though. I'll post an example later.
A really good example I saw was when R2 and C-3PO wake up in the Sandcrawler. Its quite dark, but the grain and noise is nowhere near as heavy as the desert scenes. This was just the raw GOUT, straight from the DVD.
