The best of both worlds now at one's fingertips?


Well... there are a couple of questions:

1. How good is the AA filter (ideal step filter or slowly falling
filter)?


Well, it comes in two configurations amounting to four different setups,
so there's bound to be some choice that fits most circumstances. But
it's an interesting patent.

2. Does the filter set automatically its strength or are you supposed to
set the filter before each shot? Can be quite cumbersome thinking each
time before a shot how much AA you need.


How so? I mean, the camera has tons of settings that affects the image
quality and result that isn't done automatically. And since the general
consensus about an AA filter is that it's great for most shots except a
few instances, where it can pretty much ruin a picture. So to be able to
shot it off when making such a shot, that would be great!
