The D1X is pretty good but it still suffers from some pretty hideous aliasing 
errors mostly due to over sharpening I assume. I think that most of the cameras 
but the *ist D are being pushed past their usable limits in order to achieve 
"good" results in largely irrelevant tests. 

All I can say is that when used well the *ist D can produce printed 
photographic results that don't have that identifiable digital look. All that I 
can put this down to is that the designers wanted the images it produced to 
look like photos and as such didn't try to extract information from the sensor 
that was beyond its capabilities and I'm pretty glad about that.
