It's been a few days since 5D mk2 came out and users are reporting banding nosie problem;
using sRAW with highlight tone priority mode on, you'll encounter such a problem. Not all the time but very likely. If you must use sRAW and highlight tone priority together, you shouldn't buy 5D mk2 until this problem is sorted out by Canon.
note:
Based on my previous experiences, it's highly likely that some people will call me a Nikon fanboi just because I mentioned a problem on Canon camera. Such was the case when I talked about Nikon's banding noise and gray cast problems. Again I tell you that I'm just reporting a problem that might affect you.If you think I'm a fanboi of any brands, it's because you can't take criticism on the brands you love. In other words, you're the fanboi. Keep your fanboism to yourself.
Update:
Further testing on this issues has proven that Hightligh Tone Priority with RAW, too, causes banding problem as well (Although it's less significant than sRAW+HTP on.)

This is quite bad because people like me couldn't care less about sRAW problem but do need HTP to work right. It can be a simple problem that can be fixed by firmware update or it can be a problem that requires you to send the camera to the service center. For now, I think it's safe to wait until Canon addresses this problem.
