Only partially true. Oversampling
if the lens already bandlimits the signal, it's already doing the
antialiasing. more pixels won't render any more information nor prevent
aliasing any better.
Herb
the information isn't there in the first place because it is blocked by the
lower quality lens. that is what i said at the beginning. a lower quality
lens that is just acceptable on the *istD doesn't benefit from a larger
sensor because it is already band limiting the signal to something less
well, if capturing screws up the phase, then everything looks weird.
