Interesting that he says he sees no moiré, and yet a staircase effect is
visible on the read arm on the left hand image:

and there is colour fringing on the yellow cage on:

On that pair, the different horizontal suggest camera-shake might have
affected the results, even though precautions were taken.

To me, it shows that 36 Mp is making the system more limited by the lens
rather than the sensor, that care is needed to get the full resolution
from a 36 Mp system, and that because the system is more lens-limited than
sensor-limited the omission of the AA filter is not as important as on
lower pixel count sensors. Give hand-held photography, or a less than
perfect lens or focusing, you can get away without an AA filter on such a
high resolution sensor.
