Although I love the gx7, even using pro lenses it does not produce 'really' sharp images. But on getting a 20mp GX8. I was staggered by the upgrade in image quality.

Yes! The GX8 has an AA filter, I think.

I wonder does the lack of an AA filter really improve image quality? In what way?

Does it really matter, or is it a geeky gearhead thing?

I don't own any other 16mp cams so can't comment on them.

I still have a GH2 and GX1, but haven’t used either in ages, so can’t really comment, either.
