That is lovely.
It's all a question of degree.
I have been using a 1Ds3, a 5D2 and more recently a 5D3 and 6D in all sorts of situations and I've never had an issue with banding. Not once.
I'm not saying I'm great, I'm saying I wouldn't expect to be able to push shadows buy endless stops and not see any image degredation, it's obvious you would. Push any type of media too far and it'll break down eventually.
I am saying that if you have good control over exposure and use fill-flash, relectors, the occasional dual-processed RAW file with a bit of combining it's really not an issue, at least not for me.
I remember back a couple of years when the Reuters photo award winners were almost all taken with 5D2's. Fantastic photographs by any standard. At the same time there were users here saying the 5D2 was 'unusable'.

Cheers... Yep I agree and the 5D2 is still a great camera and it's still widely used. Usually I'd take more care over how I exposure a photo, get to a location in advance and prepare for the moment but I was shooting somewhere else on that evening, I sort of stumbled across this shot and it was already well past sunset. I guess that I'm lucky enough that the 6D is as clean as it is!
