It is sort of fixed - the maze is gone but at 200 there is still a pattern. If only Nikon had a small body FF about 20mp. Im thinking switch - but too what?? No not the D700 it does not cut it in the MP.

Anytime that you drag darker parts of an image out of the gloomy depths where they reside into the light of day, it will also drag along the ugliness of the dark areas. Yes, it is usually noisier down there, but there doesn't have to be banding, nor any noise due to simply being under-exposed; it shouldn't be any worse than using a higher ISO, except that the camera adds ugly noises, which aren't a necessity of physical reality, or of under-exposure, per se. And, don't forget that even a one stop increase in brightness means that each incremental tone step will be equivalent to two incremental tone steps in brightness of a correctly exposed area. Although the effect is very faint, you might also want to take a peek at the histogram to see if any "picket fencing" is starting to develop. Well, no Canon suffers from posterized RAW data. They always have more than enough bits in the RAW not to suffer. Looking at the RAW histogram in general is not enough to determine if there is visible posterization. One histogram could be solid, and the other with gaps or doubled-up spikes, and the former could actually be more posterized, if it has a lot less noise.

If I can't see issues in the shadows of a real picture I'm not going to go looking for problems. by taking pictures of my lens cap. The 1D4, from the samples I've seen, has the same low-ISo problem as the 5D2. Unbanded Canon shadows seem to be history, at this point. Even at high ISOs, 1D4s have blackpoint calibration issues between odd and even lines which keep them from being even less noisy at very high ISOs.

Maybe you should read it all - there was a problem and it does exist but not on all 5d2s. Living the life, overexposing...

My 5D dont have any problem. I dont have lines or mazes even at 6400 ISO.

My 5D2 went back to CPS in Spain (Barcelona) due to my LCD dying. It has come back from the menders and is now exhibiting the maize pattern. Never did it before, I would definately have noticed this before as it took my breath away. Catch my pictures on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/swag72/

Not sure I'll end up with a new camera, but I'll be happy with it being fixed. Catch my pictures on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/swag72/
