Extra Detail or More Crunch? Nikon D800E


There were useful photographs comparing the Nikon D800 with the 800E in ePhotozine:



There was a discernible difference between the two cameras. In some photographs it appeared that was genuinely more detail whereas in others it seemed there was more ‘crunchiness’ as one would expect from a lack of anti-aliasing. Has Nikon achieved a good compromise whereby they have enough anti-aliasing to get extra real detail while avoiding the artifactual over-crunchiness? I suspect they have. Failure to prevent moirĂ© patterning is the downside. The choice between the D800 and the D800E would now be a difficult decision for me.
