Internal filter

Which Nikon and Canon full frame DSLR's have the internal filter removed? Can this be done at a camera repair shop? I presently have a D600, and am seriously looking at a D810.

The 800e does not have an AA filter. There may be others, but this one I'm aware of and use. Removing one, I'm not sure.

I do not think you can remove the anti aliasing filter without changing out the sensor and electronics.

Why do Hogs hate Google. Are guesses always preferable to facts?

The pass through filter is an integral part of the camera, it is designed to work with the whole camera, it would be like taking a sensor off a new car, it just is not designed to have a part removed. Most camera manufactures will not do that for that reason. The D810, D500, D5 do not have pass through filters.

ALL DSLRs have a filter over the sensor.

On many cameras that filter is an "anti alias" or "low pass" filter, to minimize moiré effect.

Some cameras have weakened or "plain" filters, to be able to give that last, tiny bit of extra sharpness to images. But those risk moiré... which can occur when there are repeating patterns in an image (such as might occur in fabrics, or architecture, or even in some animal coats and bird feathers).

So it's not a matter of "removing" the filter... but some places offer to replace AA filters with a plain one that will still protect the sensor in a variety of ways.

Canon 5DS-R has a "cancelled low-pass filter". Canon also has offered several Astral Photosgraphy cameras over the years, where that filter is likely either cancelled or weakened. Canon 60D"a" and 20D"a" were two factory models without low-pass filters. There were rumors of a 70Da but Canon never produced one... there are currently rumors Canon might produce an 80Da. I know there were rumors of a 6Da, but I don't know think they've ever produced an "a" version of any of the full frame 5D or 6D or 1D-series models... only the 5DS-R. But there have been third party companies that would convert various Canon models.

I'm not familiar enough with Nikon cameras to say.
