The only banding I see is a streak of blue/violet, that is the edge of a picture frame. I've seen some particularly awful artifacts in slightly underexposed 3200 shots from my *ist-Ds but hell they were under exposed I wouldn't expect particularly good results from anything under those circumstances. The ISO 800 exposure seems to be exceptionally clean. The 6400 exposure seems to be very clean for that ISO as well, though I have to admit I haven't seen any output from the new Nikon. Maybe it looks bad in comparison to that, but the 6mp sensor on doesn't produce better at ISO 3200.
