I respectively disagree. Moire is only a common issue for digital cameras without anti-aliasing (AA) filters. And a significant modern digital cameras, if not the most, still have AA filters, so moire pattern is NOT a common problem.
First the Canon. I have been using various digital cameras from Canon over the years, and shoot tens of thousands of images. I never experienced the moire problem in a single image. Because most Canon cameras have anti-aliasing filters built-in, including the latest mirrorless offerings, R5 & R6.
When I searched Nikon cameras with AA filters, I found the following list:
D7000, D5200, D3200
D3, D4, D5, D6
D600, D610, Df
D750, D780, D800
Z6 (and ii), Z5
So a significant portion of Nikon cameras are built with AA filters as well, including the iconic D800.
For Sony cameras, "R"models (A7R, A7R II, A7R II, A7R IV) do not have AA filters, but all the rest do (e.g., A7 II, A7 III, A7 IV).
For Fujifilm cameras, their X-Trans sensor's unique color organization eliminates moiré patterns without the use of AA filter.
As for DJI's drone cameras, I have been shooting with Mavic, Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic 2S, and Mavic 3, for the last 6 years. I never experienced the moire patterns in images captured with these drones. I am quite surprised that moire pattern is now a problem with Mavic 3 Pro.
And yes, I understand there are post-processing techniques to try to remove moire patterns from the affected images. But these techniques are not perfect. They are not non-destructive, and they do not guarantee to completely remove the effect of moire. I would rather pick a camera with AA filter and never have to worry about dealing with moire problem in post-processing. |
