How good is the AA filter (ideal step filter or slowly falling filter)? Well, it comes in two configurations amounting to four different setups, so there's bound to be some choice that fits most circumstances. But it's an interesting patent. 2. Does the filter set automatically its strength or are you supposed to set the filter before each shot? Can be quite cumbersome thinking each time before a shot how much AA you need. How so? I mean, the camera has tons of settings that affects the image quality and result that isn't done automatically. And since the general consensus about an AA filter is that it's great for most shots except a few instances, where it can pretty much ruin a picture. So to be able to shot it off when making such a shot, that would be great! -- Sandman[.net] |

I'd thought general consensus at the kind of pixel density that we have now, is that having /no/ AA filter is great for most shots, except in a few instances where not having an AA filter can pretty much ruin a picture (alaising - more than colour moire which seems to be able to be quite well controlled in raw conversion). |

Yeah, reading what I wrote, I must have had my thinking backwards, or my writing. I meant what you wrote. Sorry about that -- Sandman[.net] |
