I'm not sure why you'd say that Why Fi... the pattern noise was eliminated 100%. That post-production procedure I wrote out completely eliminated the pattern noise. I didn't give you a procedure to eliminate all of the other noise that is inherent in an image (that a Nikon and Sony also has.) I only told you how to eliminate the horizontal and vertical pattern noise that shows up when you increase the brightness of the image by several stops at low ISO.
Why would I say that? Because it's what I think to be true. To me, the photo (now deleted) showing the results of the process weren't significantly better than the lifted photo in the OP - the pattern wasn't 100% eliminated and, counter to the premise of the thread title, the results didn't look nearly as good as I've seen from the Sony sensors. We can go back and forth with our "it's just as good"/ "no it wasn't" or you can put the image back up and let people decide for themselves (I'm curious as to why you deleted the post with the "final," though I can certainly speculate).
