I don't think its happening in video mode. The LED issue is related to the way Nikon and Sony readout the sensor: 12 rows a time. If it was line by line, the banding would be single pixel thin, and therefore unnoticeable. However its only an issue with LED signage and wall displays, not LED lights. 

I understand the confidence RED camera makes for both its owner and the clients. Its like wedding photography that people think big DSLR like 1DX makes their once-in-lifetime photos look magazine-level professional! So even when the photographer knows a prosumer small camera is perfectly fine for the job, he or she invests in the most expensive body, to tell everyone in the party: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing". 

Do we know how they operate their business? You cant rent brand X if they don't have enough units of brand X, on purpose! 

I want Z9 technology in Z6 mark 3 and DPR forum traffic in EOSHD 2022 😉
Happy Christmas.

Sorry thats not how it works. All these developments are about increasing the full well capacity, which is very low in small sensors, and decrease noise, which is relatively high in small sensors, to extend the DR, maybe 1/3 of a stop. 
Here is the formula: 20*log(full well capacity÷noise). You can play with this to estimate how much room to improve is still there. Capacity is already capped at 3500 electron per one um². And noise is already very low. A1 is at 1.8e now.
 
The only way to extend DR by several stops in conventional CMOS sensor is multi exposure solutions. Nikon is playing with a dual layer idea, but its on photo diode section, not electronics. They want to place a CMY layer on top of RGB layer, then set the upper layer exposure differently from the lower layer exposure.

Ok, I want this RAW, RIGHT NOW!
High Efficiency raw size is LESS than size of high quality Jpeg!
 

They have licensed the raw technology from a company called intoPIX. Its kinda a surprise, because their new raw technology announced just one month ago!
Here is what they call TICO-RAW:

Waveform monitor comes with firmware update.

who would have thought the first still camera maker that introduce internal Prores HQ and Prores RAW will be the same company everybody were saying "not serious about video", and not those companies that have been in Cinema camera business for decades.
 

It can't be useful for any pro project, but many pros would love to use it. At least somebody is thinking out of the box in the industry.

I tested cinematic mode and it was better than I expected and instantly realized 98% of the users have no idea how to extract the most of its creative potential.

I want to be a troll for a moment and comment RIP Sony, but I resist.

They even could create an open standard for USB mic input, but didn't. XLR is really ancient for this "mobility and convenient" world.
