Re: GX8 is the only "recent" Panasonic camera that's actually usable for me.

In its favor, it improves upon the GX8 by losing the anti-alias filter

That's not "in its favor" at all, it's in its detriment. I despise this attitude. I'll take "10% less resolving power" over aliasing artifacts / "moire" any day. Cameras that lack an anti-aliasing filter are absolutely useless for me. I run into those artifacts all the time, especially because of the inability to properly handle the detail from the fabrics of people's clothes.

Your fake "extra-detail" in the form of disgusting aliasing artifacts trumps any slight "resolving power" that your AA-filter-less camera MAY have.

I despise this idiotic trend. Omitting the anti-aliasing filter is one of the most idiotic things anyone can do in an analog to digital sampling product, and it's not even disputable, it's a plain fact.

Cue the BS comments against anti-aliasing.

15K pics with GX80 and G80 and I haven't been bothered with moiré a single time. Love the sharp output every single time.

If you need AA, get another camera, it's that simple.
