I'm assuming you only maxed out the shutter speed and ISO to perform such comparison tests.  How do the cameras compare though using more appropriate values?

When you conducted the tests, were both R3s powered on at the same time (after being off for say at least an hour, perhaps longer).  Where I'm going with this is that perhaps one camera was internally hotter than the other which may account for the differences.

Also, when doing your experiment, did you use the same exact lens (swapped it between R3 bodies)? I don't expect that to cause the banding, but best to keep all variables the same if possible when conducting tests.

Har to know without any pictures. Share some raw files.

Good evening Ricky from the Kruger NP South Africa.

Firstly thanks for devoting time to help before I send the troublesome ( older of the two) body in for inspection/repairs.

In direct answer to your first question both bodys  with the 400 and 600 were powered up simultaneously to yes, nullify perhaps that as you suggest  heat is affecting things and began firing away to full buffer.

Alas no matter what I did to provoke the newer of the  two (one vs two years ) it excelled band free throughout irrespective whether I swapped lenses.

I will respond now to Peter attaching screenshots from Raw if thats okay.

Thank you sincerely

Peter as requested please see raw screenshots .

On the bird shot note another trait common to all when. in firing off to buffer... the variation in banding intensity.

 

Thank you sincerely

Those aren't raw files. At the least they are raw captures from an HDMI device.

@matjulu67,

Please use a file sharing service (Google Drive, OneDrive, etc) and provide us with a link so we can evaluate your images.  Also, please swap the media card(s) between camera's and see if the behavior follows.

Thanks 😀

Gday Rick

 

Done all the obvious stuff like swapping out cards to both bodies. The probs only with one body the old one around a year ish old

 

Not going to link through google or any gile service you can see the prob clear as day.

 

Cheers
