Actually, I think a lot of people are going to find the lack of AA filter to be a problem, just not in the way you might expect. This guy, for example, says that no AA filter doesn't lead to a lot of moire issues, but DOES lead to a lot more pixel-level flaws like CA. http://photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00aJkp
Cameras with no AA filter are going to separate the "men from the boys" as far as lenses are concerned. It is going to make APO and Star lenses almost mandatory. Either that or you are going to have to "enjoy" a lot more time in post-processing. This problem is exacerbated by a full frame sensor which uses the corners of the image circle that are getting cropped out by an APS-C camera. In short, those who want a full frame DSLR are either going to have to use their best lenses with it, or procure some.
