the right frame rate does solve banding due to indoor lightining, but that is unrelated to other forms of banding not sure what types the 7D gets in video, haven't used video on it too much yet and so far it has been noisy at super high iso but not banding
So, bronxbombers or skibum5: having read your never-ending bashing of the 7D sensor on your camera, do you plan to dump the 7D?
My copy has a great sensor (little low ISO banding, no mazing, excellent high ISO performance). But the AF sensor on it doesn't work reliably. Have you faced problems in this regard?
Some cameras have great imaging sensor but horrendous AF sensors, while others are just the opposite. Sogh
i don't see where i was bashing it there, i said i hadn't seen video banding myself yet (as for tons of noise at H1 video, that wasn't a bash but a comment, it has somewhat more noise there than the 5D2 but far, far less than any regular video camera)
not sure about keeping it or not, i have to see how the mazing plays out and how the AI Servo does at a top level sporting event (and more real world wildlife results)
so far the one shot af does about the same with center as the 5D2 (somewhat better than 50D) and the outer points work a lot faster and don't hunt as much, both cameras certainly can miss though, semi-regularly with very tricky subjects, not sure if say a D700 or 1D3 is any better, never used those two.
but they both (5D2/7D) seem to do center-point AF somewhat more reliably than my 20D/40D/50D did, which sounds better than your results.

) and speaking with the 20 something behind the counter we discusssed the 7D and movie banding - he said he'd found out that the banding in movie mode was caued by the shutter speed not being in sync (from a user selection) with the FPs setting, IE 30 fps and 1/30th, 1/60th of a second - works great, 24 fps and 1/30th, no sync and banding.
I don't have a 7D,
