Is it banding or moire pattern in D4 studio test images at ISO200 RAW? It's also in higher ISO files, but D4 JPG file has less noticeable strips. NX200 also has narrower strips. If not comparing to D800 and 645D, won't even notice it.

We know you like your 645 but I have used one and they are more suited for a studio than to take into the field.

It would never replace my D4!

Trolling and craziness. What a cocktail. Why don't you try to take good photographs instead of pixel peeping and trolling.

Hey Chicken Little!

Getting tired of folks going off half cocked about things that aren't really proven.

When 1,000 people show examples of a specific defect or anomaly then go do your little dance.

Until then why can't you just wait until there's more data or complaints or facts?

Wow.

Is it so hard for you to admit that the D4 images posted by the OP have color moiré?
Is anybody in this forum a troll by default?
Did you even take a look at the pictures before replying?

Every camera exhibits moire at a specific distance and specific resolution
and specific pattern..... some more some less but
the picture show nothing about the quality of the camera when it comes
to moire........

Oooh the vested interest on both sides

The 645 user wanting to show up the D4 so it makes him feel better about his camera (and very emotionally attached he is too if he needs to call himself after a camera - that's brand fanaticism for you)

..and all the D4 fans getting upset to hear that there may be a negative side to their association with the new Nikon

It's a one off - it may be present in just one photo, it may be present on just one camera, it may be applicable to all D4s, it may concern some, it may not concern all, it really doesn't matter

The camera doesn't matter, the images you take with it do matter. Most of you are probably very talented but it seems more and more the minutiae of the gear is terribly important when the differences between the cameras are closer and closer than ever

It's a valid observation, nothing more, nothing less.

Banding occurs in strict alignment with sensor rows or columns (rows in the case of D3-D4 series cameras), so this isn't banding.

It's false color, also referred to as "color moire'" - it's an effect of aliasing and it demonstrates that AA filters aren't perfect. Since color is sampled at half the frequency that luminance is sampled at, an AA filter that's highly effective at preventing false color might be considered to produce too much luminance softening. Nikon tend to select a compromise biased toward weaker AA filters, so you can expect this effect to show up occasionally.

Of course, all of the camera models selected for the samples will exhibit exactly the same effect, given a suitable subject distance.
 
I've seen it occasionally with the D700 on grey suits. It requires a specific subject distance, angle, and aperture to appear.

Each time NX2's 'Color Moire Reduction' on the lowest setting has removed it.

No, I don't even own a 645D, who is having a brand fanaticism?

I owned most major brand of cameras, including Nikon (both film and DSLR), and going to get the D800E:-) D4 was in my list of consideration that's why I check the details to make a decision.

Yes, the number of D4 fans so attached to it are amazing:-) Over half of responses are just assuming every negative post about D4 as trolling...
