Uhum...I posted recently about seeing jagged text in images shot by the S2.
Well, they are definitely there BUT only in Photoshop!

I started looking at DPreview of the D60 in detail this morning and noticed,
in the images of the bottles that they use, the text was jagged even when
viewed at 100% in Photoshop. However, I happen to see the text part of the
image again in IE and noticed the text was smooth (I hadn't clocked the
whole image while it was downloading).

I copied and pasted it into Photoshop and it appeared smooth there too.
However, as soon as I scrolled the image, the jaggies appeared. I turned the
layer on an off and they disappeared. Now, I was firmly of the belief that,
when viewed at 100%, Photoshop does not anti-aliase or mess with the pixels
in any way but it does. You may want to figure out why it does and if you
can't be bothered, see explanation below*.

Must confess, I was having serious doubts about the images that these
cameras were producing. The review dismissed the jaggies as slight moire but
they were monstrous in Photoshop and I had began to doubt the reviews. Faith
restored...

It turns out that if you have pixel doubling enabled in prefs, you get
jaggies even at 100% view. I had turned on the option to see if I could get
rid of the "blocks" created when scrolling a large image in OS X and had
forgotten all about it.
