jpegs do not have limited dynamic range, they have limited number of shades between pure black and pure white (254 shades of grey to be exact).Of course if you try to capture too much dynamic range with a jpeg you will start to notice banding because there are not enought shades of gray but I dont think this is the limiting factor in todays DSLRS as they still dont have enough overall dynamic range to cause the jpeg banding due to too much stop difference between shades... jco
