3rd - I am taking photos in RAW mode and yet I took a photo today and it had clear banding - it was of a tree on an overcast day and the sky showed clear signs of banding. Did I do something wrong?
Thanks for any help out there.

I noticed that noone commented on the banding issue and that is the one that really troubles me so I decided to include a photo here to illustrate my point. Also I have included the camera settings. The banding is in the upper right corner and is really obvious. The camera settings for this image (taken from PhotoME) are:
