I get that we can only evaluate the systems - not pick and choose components. Moreover that's the point - "which system will best achieve my goals?" Having pursued the Canons from 10d to 20d to 5d - all CMOS. Then using the DMR and M8 with CCD. Seeing a technical and to my eye aesthetic improvement in detail and dynamic range; I have now a bias toward CCD (and wonder if this is the same bias that keeps the Medium format manufacturers using CCD). Then I wonder: Has Nikon achieved a major technical shift in CMOS technology that will move the 'higher end' sensors and backs toward CMOS (and away from CCD)? All of this bares on my own still photography goals and business plans for the next 10 years. While I realize there are no prophets out there - I'm merely seeking trend spotters.
