Can someone who has used both tell me which one has better per pixel sharpness? The Canon 5D Mark II or Sony A900?Does one have a weaker AA filter than the other?

The sigma 12-24 is pretty unique too but it's not something that's a reference grade lens when it comes to sharpness.Btw, in the Sony SLR Talk parallel thread, JulienA's "brand patriotism" is getting a bit out of hand with his claims regarding Canon's wides. Tell him to go to slrgear dot com and open the blur plots for the Nikon 14-24 2.8 and 24L II side by side and see which one is sharper.GTW -- http://www.flickr.com/genotypewriter

It was in the Sony forum, and it was brand patriotism after all! Man, what did you expect? You know, I can do the same here: I find canon's 35 1.4 L really stunning. Is that ok now or do you want me to paint another layer?
