Default D3200; time to lose the AA filters?

leaving it out entirely would reduce the cost.

what the d800e has is an antialias filter followed by an un-antialias
filter, so that the optical length matches the d800 and the rest of the
camera can remain the same.


Yes, I've read that, so if they decided to eliminate the effect of the
AA filter, they would have to do the same with the D3200.


no they wouldn't have to do the same. the only reason they do that is
because there's two models, one with and one without an aa filter.

if they're only making one model, they don't need to match anything
else. just leave the aa filter out entirely.

however, it's stupid to do that, especially on a low end camera.
