From the owner/administrator of www.cambridgeincolour.com : \"From a strictly technical perspective, a UV filter certainly cannot increase image quality, since it introduces two additional layers of glass and air between your camera\'s sensor and the subject.\"
In all of these threads, and there are thousands more on this topic, cheaper filters will degrade image quality without a doubt. Top-of-the-line filters do degrade images mainly toward the edges, but to a much lesser degree. If you are a certified pixel-peeper (like me), then don\'t use them. If you\'re not a pixel-peeper, then use them.

Simple resolution of the debate, no?
