Can we delete the previous 13 pages of rudderless speculation and start from here please?

I sense that good moire control will remain important to many users with critical needs. We're still learning from random examples where it may be a problem. I think its an important option, but clever marketing too. The new system just needs to be tested out to get a feel for its best application.

It's nifty and good marketing, agreed, a feature worth having and one that permanently spells the end of AA filters if it works well. I really want to hear about niftier DR/iso performance though.

I've heard it said many times that better Dr/ISO performance is not necessarily a given with such an increase in pixels within the same physical sensor space ?

I always thought it got slightly worse .. so if we could have the same sort of performance as the K-5II but on a 24MP sensor I would be quite happy.

Assuming that it works, it removes any concern you might have about an AA Filterless camera for general purpose use.

Depends how far on the technology has moved. Hence the reason I never liked using my K10D above ISO 400, but happily use the K-5 at 1600 or more. It looks from the other post like the ISO runs from 100-51,200 as standard, no mention of expanded range (to reach ISO 51,200 on the K-5 you have to elect to have it as an option), so it might be safe to assume it's more usable at these higher ISOs... Or not. McGregNi wrote:

true, although the expanded range on the K-5 goes to 102400, so it might equally be expected to be less good at the top end..... either way is speculation until we get some reviews.

".... spells the end of AA filters ...." for cameras with shake reduction in the sensor! It's nifty and good marketing, agreed, a feature worth having and one that permanently spells the end of AA filters if it works well. I really want to hear about niftier DR/iso performance though.
Try that with in-lens stabilisation!

It's another clear dividing line technology wise between Pentax and the others, so will be another defining feature to promote. It will add another line of questioning though when criticising each others shots .... 'did you shoot with the shaky moire reduction thingy on or off?'
