IMO, it's when a finely-detailed object is surrounded or bordered by
a very bright area. The inevitable pixel-bleed happens, causing the
edges of the object to erode. This can be most easily seen when a
tree branch with vaninshingly small details is silhouetted against a
bright sky. I'm wondering which camera is best at dealing with this,
and does pixel size play any part in it? I know that some CCDs/CMOS
exhibit a deeper "well" capacity to deal with what might become excess
charges, but I don't know how each camera handles this.

Film also has a hard time with a similar scene.
