I have a Fuji S5 pro that I love very much. I was thinking of getting the AA filter removed so I can get even more clarity and resolution. Is it worth it as I plan on using this camera for portraits and family pics for the forseeable future. My second camera is a Fuji X100.

Removing the AA filter is quite a challenge - either pricey (something like $430 afair) or you need to look after the right glass to replace the filter with.

If you have someone who will do it fast, relatively cheap and with good glass - then go for it.

If you don't - not worthy imo.

Pam Meier did it for her S5Pro, you may ask her about the details:
