And the punchline is we just don't know CCD vs. CMOS the whys and wherefore its a much more complicated question than lay people can sit back at their emailing keyboards to address without getting a few degrees in computer electronics whatever it is first. CCD (charge coupled device) vs. CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) Apples and oranges. The support structure behind them may be the much more critical thing. Both can be great when the design is implemented properly. Mark William Rabiner
