5D Mark III - Plenty Sharp and Still Anti-aliased (video examples)

[dustylense]

How is sharpening a 5D III image better than sharpening a 5d ii with AA filter image if both only resolve under 800 lines in the raw file? Is the argument that the 5d III resolves 900+ lines, but appears soft due to no aliasing? Because if that were the case, the raw clips would still have more visible detail... and that isn't apparent in the clips being posted. Sharpening exaggerates detail that is already there. I'm not seeing that initial detail.

Take a C300 and turn the sharpening -10 and tell me if it resolves 1000 lines.

You mean 0 sharpening, right? Baking in a softening effect, which is what -10 sharpening is I think, would result in a loss of real detail. Unless -10 = 0 sharpening.

dont confuse perceived sharpness with resolved detail.

or lets simplify it with
c300 has a lot more perceived detail despite having low sharpness.
mk3 despite having sharpened, it still resolves at around hvx200 resolution. which is not bad at all.
