Originally posted by séamuis where is the proof that its widely known? there seems to be a lot of K10 owners out there with no such problems
seamuis: it depends highly on the conditions and types of subjects people take pictures of. If you take pictures in brightly lit conditions, you'll hardly see it (though I did w/ one US open tennis photo), and it also depends on your monitor as to how obvious it is.
For folks who have claimed their images had banding and posted it,
I've been able to see it. Others don't. Doesn't mean that it doesn't exist though. Ditto the x-mas tree light/moire that some users complained about initially, which we later found out was because of a weak vertical antialiasing filter.
