1. The low ISO banding is real, and it seems that Canon doesn\'t know how to get rid of it, nor how to improve the low ISO dynamic range. It has pretty much remained on the same level since the 5D2 sensor came out. Lifting shadows on photos from a 5D2 or 5D3 is nightmarish compared to doing it on photos from - let\'s say the Nikon D800. The Exmor sensor reigns supreme in this area.
2. If you buy a used Canon camera that still has warranty, you\'ll have the warranty. (EDIT: Apparently the warranty is ment only for the original purchaser. but many have reported that Canon will honor the warranty even if you are not the original purchaser.)
3. No warranty for gray market products, but yes, you can get service from Canon by paying for it.
