I finally found this elusive Z7 banding issue after putting on my glasses.....very fine, but there......it's not like a lot of wide banding and isn't difficult to remove, more like "hatching" really.
Nothing at all like the D7100's banding......which was coarse and easily visible.....forum users said "you had to look hard to find it".....but in any sort of sunset shoot produced it in the dark horizons, for me that made it a flawed camera.......I was glad to find the D500/D750 doesn't do it.......it was simply horrible!
The Z7 is more of a "search long enough and you will find" I'm not sure to what size you have to print to see it at all?.......
The sensor is a quiet back side variety with PDCDAF, so there is the possibility of issues in certain lighting......but at this stage of the game I would expect and hope Nikon will fine tuning all these little pesky micro bugs with a steady flow of FW updates, this is Nikon's first sortie into ML.....overall they have done a remarkable job.
Canon have been doing PDCDAF sensors for years......so I'm not sure what their excuse is?
Still it gave BC the opportunity to waive at least a tiny flag.........something that Canon users haven't often had a chance to do over the last few years.....
