Ah, yes! That's something I know under the name N-Log flickering, and which I remember sort of panicking about around the time I bought the camera ^_^
Luckily, never seen it happen with mine, but I suppose it remains a legitimate caveat — if you're shooting externally, that is, since that phenomenon does not occur when recording internally.
[edit] And just to be clear, as much as I love Nikon — as I specified above, my personal gear choices were motivated by already-owned hardware; if I were to make new choices without owning any gear, it's much more likely that I'd turn to Sony or Panasonic instead.
