I am new to the camera, but shot some Slog2 internally, didn't notice any banding after the grade. But would one say its a risky habit to be shooting Slog2 in AVCHD? I'd hate to shoot it, and then come back and find some sort of artifacting down the road.
 
slog2 internally can be used with LUTs designed for that kind of footage with little problem.

I find that denoising or blurring the cB and cR channels increase how much further you can push this footage, but always do your own test before you go down this road on a major shoot.
 
Many people say you can't do it well. I have had good success with it before I got the 7Q....which hands down is a lot more flexible and turns the FS into a different camera. That being said though, this was one of the last pieces I made before getting the 7Q. I filmed 98% of this in Slog2 internally in AVCHD. My least favorite couple of shots were when I used a different picture profile. Not to say I haven't been very very happy with other images I got out of the camera without SLOG2 internally. I would explore both, but if you end up with a 7Q later, it's Slog2 for everything.
