Just the opposite. Higher resolution tends to tame/avoid moire.

Thanks. That adds some clarity. I'll check out all of what DPreview has to say.

Moire is increased with sharpness, I'm not sure if higher megapixels increased it, I've noticed reducing my image resolution helped rid the effects.

Yeah, it's pretty much all good.

I suspect we are oversimplifying a pretty complex topic, but posted my response because I find the subject intruiging. I wasn't talking about lens sharpness/resolution, but sensor resolution. Moire patterns tend to appear when the sampling rate (aka pixel density) is about the same as the frequency of the details being recorded (aka image detail). That leaves lots of variability, including megapixels, pixel size, pixel density, subject, and subject distance. It seems that camera manufacturers are only recently putting weaker anti-aliasing filters on their cameras (or removing them entirely), just as the MP of sensors go up. I assume (yes, I know, Ass u me!) that's because they can finally get away from AA filters because of the higher resolution sensors. At least that's what the math would predict regarding the Nyquist frequency.

Curiously, I've seen examples that show moire after the file resolution is decreased, which is the opposite of your experience. I bet the results would be different depending if you started with a high MP image and reduced it, or used a lower resolution camera to capture the original image and left it full size.

Anyway, feel free to chime in, anyone. Or I'll just shut up and stop hi-jacking this thread :)

I have some problem with LR-3 and PS-Cs5 . I just bought Nikon D600 and maked few test photo . Trying to open RAW (NEF) photo in PS5 - the camera is not recognized . LR-3 - format of photo is not recognized .
All format RAW(NEF) from my Nikon D7000 is perfectly recognized by both programs.
Any suggestion please.

Update your ACR to the latest ACR 7.3 from Adobe. Its free on their website.

Thank you very much
MT Shooter- I will do .
Kind regards.

I'm sure it's going to be great, after all they have to have at least one camera under $3000.00 with a decent MP. ;) hehe. :lol:

Consider upgrading to LR4....there are some new features that are very nice. The upgrade is only $80 or so. IMO, it's worth it.

is this what your statement is based on. there nice . but no difference from the $700 Sony rx100 or is it the trx 100. it's the dx im talking about , not the small FF .

I'm not against buying a full frame , I'm against spending that amount of cash
for something that the average shooter will not see the in his pictures . if you
have the cash go ahead and buy it , I should say if you have the cash to throw away go ahead . it dosent stop there . there is up grades to computer ,
printers . the best lenses . yes there is certain lenses that work better on that camera among the same make , and focal length . even if I was a millionaire I would find it more sense for me anyway to buy the top dx and a couple choice
dx lenses , yes DX len's . if I wanted full frame it would be the fixed len's full
frame Sony . or at least wait untell they make a interchangeable len's for it .
