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.

Just curious if you're basing your rant on 3 year old theory or real experience with the latest cams without AA filtre? My understanding is that the extra processing power of the latest gear somewhat corrects some/most/all aliasing artefacts. It might be that the compromise was better resolution for 95% of shots with slightly less AA on those d***n tweed blazers on the remaining 5%. Really, I don't know because I have never used a "modern" camera  sin AA filtre. I have however found some traces of aliasing with all my cameras with AA filtre, so...
