I thought the 645D had no AA filter?

I thought the 645D had no AA filter? It doesn't John as most, if not all of the MF size sensors don't. It is a first for a DSLR manufacturer to offer as std though. The M9 also is without AA but it's not a DSLR. Best regards

And Leica M9 has no filter? Edit: K10D is fast!! It would be way down on my list of prioryties.

I wouldn't have one removed as it's part of the imagining process in the camera. If it's designed that way that's one thing, but if it's not then taking it out would seem unwise. There is a function in the imaging process for the AA filter.

Sorry, I wasn't aware that the MF cameras didn't have this. I agree that it shouldn't just be 'removed' - something still needs to be in its place, but it makes me wonder whether if (like many others) I never shoot JPEGs if it isn't actually reducing the quality of my images rather than enhancing...

I've seen results from the M9 and they are very impressive. That said, so is the glass on the front of it. Once I've seen real images from the D800E, I can say ye or nay. an example If the IQ is improved markedly, other manufacturers will follow. They are sheep after all. Best regards

greynolds999, even a RAW capture has some processing by the camera to translate the black and white image into a colour one that makes sense - this involves some clever electronics taking the Bayer filter information and doing its trickery, before the file is ready to be used. The AA filter will be ...

Yes, I appreciate that. But moiré can be corrected in PhotoShop. I think it will be interesting to see some real-world usage of this. It's really going to be down how it's received by the pros. As for me, I will wait and see what happens.

The new XPro1 does not have it either and it does not have a version that does like the D800. Nikon is reportedly providing a version of their software with the camera that takes care of the moire patterns. I think it provides an extra level of control over your final image which for people buying a...

Nikon concedes that use of an altered low-pass filter risks 'false colour and moire' in photos. But it expects photographers to counteract these effects by using widely available imaging software, including Nikon's optional Capture NX 2. This is what I fear the future may hold, to our detrime...

John, I strongly suspect that if Pentax go this route that their in-camera processing will deal with it :) For example, I had a chance to look at some Pentax Q JPG + DNG files - and the JPGs were all nicely corrected for distortion and vignetting already. The DNG files were handled in LR3, but o...

I'd rather have a camera that works in its own right. I have enough difficulty getting suitable results out of photoshop for the odd times I have a go that it woulkd drive me to distraction if every shot had to be PP'd to get rid of a recuring "fault" Bernard

PSE9 Image sharpening
Are you using Unsharp mask in PSE9? What sort of settings are you using? Do you do any sharpening in RAW before conversion to JPEG (other than the default setting)? Have you tried Luminosity sharpening? To do this layer via copy (Ctrl-J), apply USM as normal to the duplicate layer, then in the l...

Ball head or 3 way panning head?
Just about to order a tripod from Redsnapper and not sure whether to go for the 284 and 3 way panning head for £66.90 delivered or pay the extra £39.10 for the RHS-12 ball head with the 284. Any thoughts on whether the ball head is worth the extra and why? I'll use the tripod anywhere I need t...

CP+ 2012 - Interview with Hiraku Kawauchi of Pentax Ricoh Imaging Company
Sorry Shaky, perhaps my post was a little brief and without explanation I do find the remark to Pentaxophile about BS very unnecessary. You are implying he is making things up or lying- and you don't really know this person. Whilst your life experience may well have enabled you to filter out ...

K5 what settings please?
I assume that if you are flying then you will need a fairly high shutter speed to freeze the movement. I personally would try ISO 400 and Aperture Priority at F8. This should result in giving high shutter speeds, whilst getting a good performance from the lens. You may have to focus manually at a...

Sharpening challenge
"He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy..." LOL (literally) I like yours Chris, it has a natural, if noisy appearance. I think mine looks a little posterised in comparison, but the rings and splats that look like GIF compression (for want of a better analogy) are in fact shallow craters. so ...

The New Photoshop CS6
I've been using the beta now for a few months and the only new features are mentioned above. The is a new tilt shift blur filter. I have found the spot healing brush to be better. The whole user interface looks, to me, to be better. Its very dark and err, cool looking? Is it a lot better than Cs5...

Tips for Buying Lens Filters for a Newbie.
Hi Everyone! I have a Pentax Kx and after completing a course I've really got into my photography and would like to experiment a bit more. I have been thinking about getting some filters - a UV one because I have been advised that this is a good idea as it protects your lens, a polariser bec...

Tips for Buying Lens Filters for a Newbie.
Hi Kirsty First up, the filter size depends on the lens - they are all different so don't assume that one screw in filter fits all as it won't. I'm assuming you have the 18-55mm kit lens with your K-x which is 52mm from memory. The advantage of systems like the Cokin ones is that you can b...
