p.4 #1 · 20D: HORRIBLE BANDING CAUSED BY FLASH


Hello,

i have the same banding problems. itīs my second 20d body and i will return this too. i donīt understand the problem.

the examples: 100 iso /13 s- 100% crop -normal and levels pushed

i read a lot of critiques of 20d and none mentioned the banding problem. i donīt understand.

Are you saying these are 13 second exposures? If so, I don't think there are that many people using digital cameras at long exposures like this.

You may want to apply some noise reduction and see what that does.

after this, for long exposures i still use film, not my 20D. fuji velvia and a good scan for now is the solution.

i will send my 20d back and wait for the solution.

They may be aware of the problem, but in many instances, the discussion goes, "What percentage of users will be affected by this?" and the answer to that question dictates whether they'll solve it in this release.

"Are you saying these are 13 second exposures? If so, I don't think there are that many people using digital cameras at long exposures like this."

Amir, why do you think that? I've seen lots of long exposure samples on the net, made quite a few myself too with my D60. Thank heaven I never encountered this type of horrible banding and for me it absolutely is a reason not to buy a 20D.

Never buy the first car model or the first dslr model. wait one year until all the problems be solved.

BUT a read only good things about 20d that i made the mistake of buying one. I should wait for users reviews...F_ _ _!

Without the flash, you shouldn't be getting banding with normal long exposures. Look at Phil Askey's 30 second test shot on this page:
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos20d/page21.asp

I've opened that image in Photoshop and pushed the levels up quite drastically, and no banding.

Could it possibly be lens related, or CF card/microdrive related?
