David, may I ask you why you say that... above... ?
Hi Steve!
I say this for several reasons... though only one of them is compelling.
1) more pixels - though this is not hugely significant unless you're making
HUGE prints. In 12x18 size, I don't think there would be a huge difference.
2) larger sensor... lower magnification factor and a slightly larger pixel
size. Larger pixels inherently yield less noise.
3) The Leica will be the ONLY dSLR which does not have an anti-aliasing
filter in front of the sensor. Anti-aliasing filters reduce resolution in
any optical system, but are needed to prevent/reduce moire patterns in
repeating patterns of photographed objects.
This last one is critical, I believe, to Leica's actually delivering a
better picture, and thus staying in the game. Imacon (who are developing
and building the DM-R for Leica) are building in a cure for moire patterns
in software, which can be turned on - after the fact, as I understand it,
if they appear in any of the shots. (I could be wrong on the "after the
fact" bit.)
If it works, it will allow the back to deliver sharper pictures than any
other dSLR.
I also understand that problems with this software is the main reason for
the delay in delivery of the DM-R.
It is also why I am concerned about it needing future updates.
Best regards,
David.
