Interesting thing about this camera is that Nikon has omitted the Optical low pass filter (OLPF). Without the OLPF there should be higher resolution, however, we have to see if this camera suffers from moire due to the lack of OLPF.

This camera also has a 1.3x DX crop mode. Coupled with the lack of OLPF, I am sure many astrophotography enthusiasts will put this camera to good use.

Competition is good for customers.
