| Apr 8, 2016 at 12:10 | comment | added | Euri Pinhollow | @james-snell: the ADC converter is a bottleneck which gets all the throughput. There are not much more than two unreliable places - the ADC and the flash card, everything else is very complicated and would produce more more complicated errors (RAM is another place which can fail but it is usually broken in non-moving places). If NEF compression is turned on flash card failure cannot produce linear artefacts because compression is usually done in tiles. Therefore, the problem lies in ADC. | |

The more likely scenario is the one linked by AJ but as the numerous requests for clarification have gone unanswered any answer would be guesswork. | |

| Apr 6, 2016 at 21:08 | comment | added | James Snell | My family ran an electronics repair business doing component level repairs to surface mount gear and pro AV kit when I was a kid, I've been around plenty of dead/poorly IC's to know that the failure of the sensor or a line wouldn't be nearly as inconsistent. Like everyone else I was waiting on more clarification from the OP, this question should be closed really | |
| Apr 6, 2016 at 7:44 | comment | added | Euri Pinhollow | @james-snell: "errors like that would be consistently placed." - can you substantiate your statement? | |
| Apr 5, 2016 at 20:58 | comment | added | James Snell | downvoted - errors like that would be consistently placed. These errors are not. | |
