The anti-aliasing filter has been removed on the Pentax K-5 II, but only disabled on the Nikon D800E. I am curious as to what the difference is. I can understand what "remove" means, but how does one "disable" an AA filter?
Machine translated quote from an interview with Hiraku Kawauchi, director of public relations for Pentax Ricoh Japan (in this answer discussing the AA filter):
"... There are several cameras that do not have this type of filter, but there are differences. For example, the
Nikon D800E has not removed the filter, but it has been disabled. We've completely eliminated. ..."
