>>4194594>>5ds/sr>yes, it still has banding, Not really. To find banding you have to dig deeper than you ever would, i.e. past the general noise limit on DR. With a little NR you can easily do a +4 stop push on 5Ds shadows, putting total DR above Portra, no banding. Practically speaking it's enough for almost all scenarios. The only scenarios where it's not enough, you often don't have enough on any camera and have to do HDR.
>especially if you leave camera LENR off or push the shadows of a raw.You should almost always leave LENR off and you can push the RAWs.
>The 5ds, if i recall, is prone to vertical bands.I own one, I don't have to recall, it does not have banding within its normal DR limits.
>>5d4>Horizontal bands. LOL at what push? You can +5 a 5D4 with no banding. Again, general noise limits you before you ever find banding. If you want to push +10ev just to criticize the camera then you can probably find banding on every camera ever made.
>Again avoid low ISO, long exposures, and shadow pushes...Again, that's just not true. Max DR is at ISO 100 and you can push +4. Long exposures to me mean minutes for stacked astro. In that scenario you would not shoot base ISO on any camera. There are tables online which list the optimum ISOs for stacked astro for each camera. I've done stacked astro shots of Orion with the 5Ds. My issue was not banding, it was that my telescope mount limits me to 10-15s subs because it wasn't designed for astro photography. I still got decent stacks given my sub limitations.
>or just buy a Nikon. They're cheaper anyways.Mad respect for the D800s. Only issue with Nikon is that you have to watch what lenses you buy if you ever plan on going mirrorless. Canon is the only one who did this transition right with all EF glass behaving perfectly on RF.
