There is some banding visible in the darker areas, but I figure that at ISO 6400, those areas are probably about 8 stops or more out of range of the sensor. This makes the image one of those torture tests that is pretty much guaranteed to bring out flaws. In a similar image made at 3200 (7 stops out of range), the banding is very minimal, at 800ISO (6 stops out of range), it is gone, as much as I can see. http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrobb/temp/k20/K20_page2.html (500k page) Is the technology perfect? I guess not, but it's pretty darned good.
