Seems pretty straightforward to me. The phrase you quote comes after a
comma. Transliterating C.H.'s good, but terse, English, I understood him
to say that the quality of the lens used is quite obvious on his 10D,
the better the lens, the better the image. Several posts have been
speculating with neither practical nor informed theoretical basis on
whether lens sharpness matters with digital sensors, since they have low
pass filters (or some don't, and who know what the spacial frequencies
on different cameras are, whatever). As he so often does. C.H. weighs in
with the results of practical experience and says, in effect, "Theory
and speculation aside, it makes a difference in actual use."
Most useful post yet on the subject IMHO.

CH - What do you mean by this statement? Difference between what?

If you don't have high resolution lenses how can you have high resolution
photos? The CCD is small so you need higher resolution. The digital cameras
do use low pass filter (I heard) but it doesn't mean you can use the cheap
low quality lenses. With the 10D I see the lens quality is important, the
different is quite obvious.
