Anyway, because lack of AA may introduce moire, have magenta cast issue (you don't think the M8 is the only one now? :-) ), and takes more processing power to compensate for the above two? Imagine you were building the original D30, the 3 megapixel wonder from Canon, back in... 2001? AA is the right choice then. The digital back have always required more "touching" from the users, so those issues are not as critical. In 2011? For the dSLR, having an AA is sort of compensated by having huge amount of megapixels, so Canikon may not care, but Olympus, Sigma and others have done away with it.
