Indeed it is. And an easy one to understand. To quote myself from a

"Any form of digital capture reduces sharpness of an image below that 
implied in the resolving power of lens and/or sensor.....  Before 
explaining why this is true of digital capture without math or fancy 
words...."

I then go on to describe in what I think are very simple words and 
examples why this is true - and thus why further processing in needed to 
make visible all the detail actually captured. It all starts about the 
middle of this page.
