Like I said, it is reduced but still clearly visible, but with the addition of posterization on the black dress and pants. You have said it is a monitor issue before, yet it wasn't visible in the...

Maybe that's because the world is round and one side is always in darkness. There are these things called 'other countries' .

I'm sorry, but the banding is still distinctly visible on my screen. You could argue the same for the extra dynamic range of Nikon sensors. Should we so easily give that up too? Really? you...

No it isn't.

No he didn't, I can still see it.

The OP shot RAW.

No. Get help.

It's reduced, but still there to an unacceptable degree. This is a very significant issue. I certainly don't want to add even 2 mins to every shot just to resolve 'banding', and even then, not...

If not used at 100% then you are correct. However, a large part of the praise for the D7100 comes from the often stated 'crop ability' of the large resolution files and the often preached "more...

Umm, you can with even the D5100!!. That photo is well within the usual range of shadow recovery that might be expected to come up reasonably frequently. Neither the D5100 or D7000 exhibit this...

Only if they look at the image at a very small size. I am far from a pixel peeper, yet find the banding a deal breaker. What is the point in shooting Raw with a camera that requires such time and...

Open both original images, it is blatantly obvious in the second. I am using a brand new HP 17inch HD laptop running windows 8. No banding in first image, very obvious banding in the second. This...

And given the severity of the banding, I think some people would be wise to consider the D7000 over the 7100. This is an issue downplayed very efficiently by the fan boys on this site, and full...

In more ways than one....

There is no improvement in image quality, there is an increase in resolution, that's it. There is simply no meaningful image quality advantage with the D5200 over the 5100, but if you really need...

It would be interesting whether the D7000 would have as much trouble with banding pushing the shadows. But I seriously wouldn't push that image as a good example of recovering a RAW shot all that...

I can't help but notice the rise of simplistic reasoning and the polarization of opinion on almost every social issue western nations face. Even though we come from quite distinct cultures within...

It depends on what you're shooting and how you like to shoot it. The 16-85vr is one of the worlds best walk around landscape lenses ever produced by any manufacturer, but if you try to use it for...

The good news is that the 55-300vr actually comes in a kit with the 18-55vr as well, this is a lot cheaper than buying the lens separately. Because your funds are limited, I strongly suggest you...

I don't think that is true, most people here would say those lenses are actually pretty good optically. I also got my first DSLR after using a Fuji superzoom and here is what I recommend you...
