In reading over all the reviews I have found, I am leaning toward the D200, both because of its overall quality as well as its ruggedness (I will spend 5 months doing fieldwork with it). However, one of the reviewers (imaging-resource.com) writes: "Strong anti-aliasing filter and very conservative in-camera sharpening makes for soft images." Because image sharpness is important in the work I will be doing, can anyone help explain this? Is it something I can compensate for in pre-shot settings. In short, is this a major drawback for the camera with respect to image quality?
Any thoughts will be much appreciated.
