As I under stand the specifications of DSLRs, Nikon do not use an anti alias
filter. Also my experience at printing large images from all brands of DSLRs
is that the Nikon images are the much sharper than Canon out of the camera.
Most really crisp image from Canon DSLRs have both Unsharp Mask and a high
pass sharpening layer from Photoshop before they rival an out of camera
image from a Nikon camera.

I'm not knocking Canon. I own a 5D (as well as several other brands of
DSLRs) and I like it fine. I just think people will become better at using
their cameras if they understand some critical issues instead of worship the
bullshit from the God of EOS.
