AA Filters, pixels and photosites

[Kayaker72]

....still thinking about it, but for now, I think I will stand by my logic, but let me rephrase.

Aliasing/moire is a resolution based issue. For the same image projected onto the sensor, a 50 MP sensor has more resolving ability than a 20 MP sensor (breaking MP into linear resolution). As it has more resolving ability, it is able to accurately "see" and depict finer details and will be less prone to aliasing/moire.


So, it isn't just a pixel density issue. It is a resolution issue. And because FF sensors are larger, for the same pixel density, they have greater resolving ability.

That line of reasoning still works for me. But, of course, this is not my "area."
