Currently reading the Langoford's Advanced Photography book and found the CCD and CMOS advantages/disadvantages table and it shocked me. I thought CMOS should produce lower noise photo compare to CCD? ![]() And some googling also led me to the same info. http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/question362.htm Should I change my believe that CMOS is better than CCD? And the reason C uses CMOS in all of their DSLRs is because of CMOS fabrication costs are lower and not because they want to produce better DSLRs? |

I think someone is already working on combining them both into one new Hybrid . |

All boils down to dollars and cents...as usual... My opinion so far, those that I have tried, CCD is still currently better than CMOS. |

i think that particular article is pretty old, because i remember reading something similar to this. this was written when i believe CMOS was still early in its life. thus cameras were being dominated by CCDs, especially by fuji's 3CCD shimazigg. |

Agree with you bro. CCD seems to be better than CMOS although CMOS has lower noise but the colours on a CCD cam are superb. That's the reason why I still prefer to use my KM 5D and 7D.

I heard ppl said CCD produce better image than CMOS and CMOS is lower noise but the table from the book mentioned CCD is lower noise which is totally different with what I know so far. I think the hybrid sensor mentioned by Ming is already here, quoted from 'Better Available Light Digital Photography' book: "The chips that Olympus calls Live MOS are actually NMOS technology chips used by Olympus and other members of the Four Thirds consortium. They are CMOS chips that combine some of the advantages of CCD with those of CMOS. NMOS (negative-channel metal-oxide semiconductor) is a type of semiconductor that is negatively charged so its transistors are turned on or off by the movement of electrons. By contrast, PMOS (positivechannel metal-oxide semiconductor) works by moving electron vacancies. NMOS is faster than PMOS." |

This article may be outdated. CMOS & CCD have existed for some time and at one time, CCD was indeed much better than CMOS, that's when most of the cameras used CCDs. Then, CMOS's progress made a breakthrough and now it performs better than CCDs and more cams are using CMOS. |
