Interesting. So effectively if you don't have stuck pixels you will get less noise with NR of.. A bit of a paradox...
Also i've been doing some tests v/v banding... I'm finding that underexposed shots really exhibit the problem but if you get a good exposure and preferable expose as far to the right of the histogram as possible without blowing the highlights the noise issue almost disappears completely or at least it can be managed with some noise reduction in post processing. Are your experiences similar ?
