CCDs have superior image quality to CMOS. Manufacturers switch to CMOS though for several reasons. 1) Lower cost. 2) Faster transfer 3) CMOS consumes less power. So, no wonder that we now see common 5fps and higher with CMOS cameras. Anyway, I'd compare CCD and CMOS, like a gasoline engine to diesel, where the CMOS is the diesel. CCD is higher performance, but diesel has other advantages. When it comes to noise levels, CCD also have lower noise than CMOS. CCD's have vertical smear though
@sasktank What yellow effect? Have you heard of something like setting your white balance correctly? The only disadvantage of a CCD is vertical smear, which doesn't bother me as much as noise.

@dvamateur --youve got it backwards --ccd's are only better in video because of no jellow effect-------cmos is absolute best for stills

Makes sense; the Chinese make it, they should buy and use it as well.

@bussta242 you cannot compare a leica to anything else!

Lol I couldn't help but laugh about the CCD comment being for "amateuers."
He must think his nikon or canon CMOS sensor is somehow superior to any high end leaf, sinar, hasselblad, and phase one back.

with hand crank power generator for the CCD? lol

The CCD is for amateuers:-)

Hasselblad H3DII 50Mpix
PhaseOne P65+ 60Mpix
Sinarback eMotion 75 LV 33Mpix
Leaf Aptus-II 56Mpix
They ALL Have "an amateuers CCD" ;)

digital technology keeps changing fast...
few years later all the digital camera we are using now... will be useless!
I like analog MP or old M3, M4, M5...
