Re: Would you prefer D800 with or without AA filter ?
I didn\'t vote since there was no option \"really could not care less\", because for most people the difference between the sensor with and without AA filter on such a high resolution camera would be negligible.
For people who print LARGE and who shoot lots of high iso or low dof photography the difference will be bigger, because sharpening in PP will increase the iso noise and sharpening out of focus regions is usually not desirable.
I\'ve post processed and printed large (4-5 metres wide) quite a few photos made with same camera models with and without AA filter and the difference between sharpened AA photo and unsharpened non AA photo is much smaller than photographers generally think. Yes, photo taken with a camera without AA filter looks sharper at pixel level sooc, but since you really can\'t sharpen it as much as the photo taken with the filtered sensor the final output is quite similar.
Also, the resolution of 36mp full frame sensor is not that huge. It\'s \"only\" the same as the D7000 and its pixel per pixel sharpness is very good and the files take sharpening quite well.
