Originally posted by Clavius By now, I've seen numerous comparissons, and there is a difference between the two... But not even the ones where the sharpness increase of the K5IIs is obvious justifies me upgrading from K5 classic to IIs.
Based on my own experiences, moire is a cruel mistress.
I shot on a system without an AA filter in the past thinking I'd be okay due to the fact that I shot mainly landscapes. And boy was I wrong.
From my own experiences, moire and aliasing are the type of things that creeps up on you, until the day where it magically appears in every photo you've ever taken.
Case and point, it didn't pay off for me in the end, though I do feel quite positive about the lack of an AA filter on higher MP sensors such as the 645D or D800E for example.
