Olympus EZ Zoom with Auto Lens Cap by TheDigitalStory.

Olympus Germany confirmed the E-M10 has no Anti Aliasing filter (via Photografix-magazin.de).

Not that it was really very important to know but at least…now we know the truth 🙂

  1. according to this statement, the GM1 should also have no AA-filter, as both cameras give nearly identical results when their raws-files from dpreview are analyzed.
    but the GM1 has definitely an AA-filter built in, because i know how filter-less images look and in case of the GM1 this is just not the case.

    1. I can agree that historically M4/3 has commanded a price premium for its size, but fi you’re going after the E-M10, its clear that you’re neither trying nor paying attention. The E-M10 is actually the cheapest 2-command dial camera on the market with the exception of the Pentax K-50. If you value direct control over your camera, the E-M10 is an absolute bargain.

  2. With higher rez than ever, we are bound to see weaker and fewer AA filters. This aint just Olympus, its a new trend.
    Moiré was a nightmare when we had 2 megapix sensors. Now moiré still is a nightmare when shooting paint art works, with or without AA filters…

  3. But did you read Oly Norway’s statement? They say that the M10 doesn’t have an AA filter and doesn’t NOT have an AA filter – it’s an ABC filter instead. Now what?

  4. This version is the truth because they’re Germans?!

    I’ll believe an answer is “the truth” when Roger Cicala takes one apart and blogs about it. Not that it makes an iota of difference in picture-taking… but now my curiosity is piqued.
