Ive shot with the Canon 5DS for over a year and enlarged shots well beyond the average person and found them again to be razor sharp within the DOF, and this camera has an AA filter. Would the 5DSr been marginally sharper, properly but not enough to live on the difference.

The effects of cancelling the AA filter are greatly exaggerated in modern high megapixel cameras and modern well designed AA filters.

As I understand it, the occurrence of moire is linked to the resolution of the sensor and the resolution of the 5DS(R) avoids moire in situations where it was previously visible. I don't know how true this is on a technical level but I thought it was an interesting counterpoint.

Last week I viewed on a large cinema screen footage shot on the Panavision Millennium DXL 8K camera and Primo 70 lenses. This camera has a AA filter and you can see razor sharp every detail within the depth of field and zero moire (more of an issue on moving images and larger magnification).

the camera is 8k...uh it should be sharp. maybe you should compare the same 8k camera with and without an AA filter on a very good monitor.

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) has helped untold millions. In terms of cost efficiency, it is probably the most effective rehabilitation program ever devised.

Why mess with success?

The crusades some people waste their time with are as silly as ice cream with mustard and sawdust on it.
