Sounds a bit unlikely, given the fact that it has a low pass filter, right?


It *doesn't* have an optical low pass filter.

If that is a good thing (actually it's good marketing,
but not good engineering), this camera should beat the
D800E because it isn't a case of reversing an effect as
the D800E does, but not having the filter at all.

I mean, even if the processor is a lot better, the D800E still has the
resolution.


It is clearly an open debate on what "has the
resolution" actually means! The D800 and the D800E have
exactly the same resolution, with a slightly different
distritution of noise. The D800E (and the D810 too) has
a broader noise distribution because aliasing products
are allowed at all spatial frequencies below the Nyquist
limit, while the D800 has reduced SNR very close to the
Nyquist limit but does not have a broad spectrum of
aliasing extending well below Nyquist.

Resolution is the same either way.
