Canon EOS 760d - sensor issues resolved?!

I found a used 70d from a photo studio that was rarely used even with the screen protection intact and the price was more than acceptable. So I went and bought it.

Congrats on the new camera!  I still adore my 70D.

The Sandisk Extreme Pro 95/90 MBs works very well with this camera.

If you're into Video (or even Live View) you might look for a second hand 18-135 STM lens for this.  It has a bit better IQ than the 18-135 (non-STM), but what really sets it apart is the totally silent AF and IS.  It's my favorite walk around lens.

You might also consider the 85/1.8 if you like portraits...

This to whet your appetite for the 70D.  (Click on "original size")

70D + 85 f/1.8, ISO 800.  No noise reduction or retouching.  Minimal sharpening for the web.

Have fun with your new camera!!!

I have now read quite a bit about this banding issue. Although it appears to be part of the sensor design, not everyone has been able to replicate the problem There are reported cases of this showing up in normal RAW or JPEG files, but most appear after heavy processing and/or stacking. There may be two issues here ... one an actual production defect in the sensor, and the other an inherent design issue.

On my own T6S, I have been unable to produce any visible banding even after heavily post processing some sample pictures.

It seems the error I was pointing put in my initial post is something real. I was wondering if the posts I read where from some unlucky pepole who got a faulty sensor. But now there is confirmation and I am glad I took the 70D which does employ a similar sensor without those issues.
