Aaron,

Going back to the source might help me to dig out your meaning.

"It addresses my most basic complaint about digital."

We've explored noise reduction, but you seem to have gone "cold" on that
approach ;-)

A few people have mentioned resolution but not followed it up (I believe
they mean resolving power a.k.a. sharpness).  OK, I'll bite. 

We know that the killer of sharpness is the anti-moiré filter.  When Nikon
released the D70 they only used a weak anti-moiré filter, for improved
sharpness at the risk of moiré when textiles etc. were shot.  They
apparently got away with it and the D70 and its derivatives have been
praised for their sharper pictures.

What if the anti-moiré filter were made retractable/removable, or dispensed
with altogether and moiré control implemented in software?  Instead of
reducing the sharpness of every shot for the sake of the few that suffered
from moiré, you might get the best sharpness possible most of the time and
only bring in moiré control when needed.

Regards,
Anthony Farr
