[Leica] "CMOS Is Winning the Camera Sensor Battle, and Here's Why"

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I doubt if anyone was looking at a room filled with 17x22 prints all made
with 24x36mm sensors half with CCD's and the other half which CMOS' s which
images was made with what.

The other is that there have been no serious 24x36mm cameras made with a CCD
in a decade other than the M9. If you want CCD now you'll be shooing a point
and shoot or medium format. When the M9 goes to CMOS that will be the last
one.

If there was something notably magical about a CCD sensor a camera company
would offer a DSLR body with a CCD sensor costing a lot more and sell it
like the Leica Monochrom. For its special qualities.
