Digital BW, The Print

Hi,

There's simply no excuse for having moire patterns in digicams any
more...that are caused by the Bayer pattern CCD...I'm not talking about
anomalies caused by the regular pattern of the CCD.

I'd also say that some manufacturers may not take the "care" to develop
their non-professional digicams to eliminate this, but the point is, it's
not rocket science...and there simply is no excuse for it, IMO.

Any Canon D-30 (or D-60) people with any moire problems???

Regards,

Austin
