Default CMOS or CCD??


digtal cameras today have two types of sensors. CCD & CMOS. almost all normal, consumer digital cameras use CCD sensors while some advanced digital SLR cameras use CMOS sensors. also some high-end video cameras use CMOS sensor & our consumer camcoders use CCD sensor.

have u ppl read Fast Track- Digital Photography????? it came with digit March 2005 issue. in it, digit has claimed that CCD is better than CMOS. where as reality is something different. many high-end, proffessional dLSR cameras (e.g Canon) use CMOS sensor that anytime offer best image quality than any consumer CCD digicam.

so then what is the real thisg??? im confused. does CCD or CMOS really matter??? do reply folks....

Doesn't matter... Its how well built the sensor is alongwith the physical size of the sensor itself. Finally the electronics in the camera which process the image from the sensor matter too. Whoever claimed that CCD is better than CMOS is a complete retard.

Better & best are subjective terms, they are applicable in certain cases as it is, & in other they are not.

Cmos was considered useless (cheppy) until Faveon made a sensor out of it then canon followed the same & patented their own cmos sensor to make pro line cameras, rest is all history.

Canon cmos success relied more on opening up its software(canon SDK) so the market saw boom in 3rd party software to process canon images thus contributing to the cmos based camera popularity.

Other were still harping that the CCD is best for them.............yes but cmos sensor proved it otherwise.

In the good old days, CCD was considered the best and CMOS as inferior but with lower power consumption. But as mentioned in the earlier posts, the technology was perfected by firms like Canon and their CMOS full size (36x24mm) sensors are being used even in their highest end DSLRs which if I remember correct cost nearabout 5 lakhs. (BTW Canon makes their own sensors inhouse)
