clarity

I have shot with a Nikon d5200 for 5 years using a sigma 17-70 macro lens but was always disappointed with the clarity upon enlargement, 24 megapixels anti alias filter. This year I purchased a nikon 7500 20.9 megapixels no anti alias filter. so this year I took the same picture with each body and a nikon 18-80 at 80 I cannot believe the difference, the 7500 is so much more clear upon enlargement. is this the anti alias filter or is there something wrong with the 5200

Yes exactly, that's why they took the filter out of all their cameras, the pics have more detail. That's a great visual aid you posted. Great job.

First photo is not in focus, so not sure how you can compare photos, not to mention about a dozen different things that makes this comparison obsolete.

I agree. The difference between filter and no filter can't be seen in photos this size. (Next time "store original" so we can download your photos to examine them better.) When it can be demonstrated, it's almost at the pixel peeping level. I believe that the first photo is out of focus. Is this a problem with the first camera? Were all of the settings identical? I suppose it doesn't matter if you're happy with the results from the new camera, but if you plan to keep the old one for backup, you might want to see if there is anything actually wrong with it.

Yes, I'm sure we all know how to nit pic and we also know when the anti alias filter is removed from a camera the pictures have a little more detail. Most posters wouldn't attempt to post a visual aid...I give him an A for effort.

I'm going to be honest and say that although the difference is more than I would expect, I've not owned any similar cameras with and without the filter. You may be right, but it still looks like your first attempt was not in focus.

First one looks in focus now.. Nothing wrong with the D5200. I would suggest you join a local photography Bob. Find someone that takes good photos in the club and ask them to take you under their wing and help you learn the hobby. You will discover taking Good photos is mostly User related and not necessarily related to the camera. Happy adventures.......

Did you look at the histogram? The D5200 like other cameras cannot guess what is important in a subject. When using digital just make sure the exposure is for the most important bright part of the subject and it never hurts to look at the histogram not only to look at the distribution of pixels but also to make sure there is no clipping of the bright areas.
The AA filter has nothing to do with the exposure, it is there to control moire. I have read it is necessary although there is a tendency to manufacture cameras with a thin AA filter or no filter at all.
Regardless of filter or not exposure is still an important part of capturing a subject.

No comparison between the two. Both images are exposed similarly and the lack of the anti-aliasing filter does make a big difference. I also have done this experiment and can definitely tell the difference too.

Just out of curiosity what picture style was used, standard, vivid etc and were the camera settings at default or have you added sharpening. I have noticed the jpg pictures taken with my D7500 look better then jpgs taken with with other Nikon DX models e.i D7200 and D5500. I also bump the sharpening up to 7 or 8 for landscape pictures but leave at default settings for people pictures.
