CMOS Sensor in Photography

Yes, I am quite confused when people mention words like CMOS sensors or CCD sensors when I first heard about dSLR

However, most camera brands only utilised CMOS sensors these days while Video recorders are really still using CCD sensors

You want to read an idiot-made-easy article on CMOS sensor?

Here it is!

I'm still wondering what Canon was thinking by putting a CMOS sensor in their SX1 IS superzoom compact, when the image quality is worse than that of the SX10, which has almost the exact same feature set, but with a CCD sensor (of the same size) and is considerably cheaper. Why, Canon? Why?!

Good thing I read reviews and comparisons and know more about cameras, in general. Whatever camera I get, I'll be sure to read plenty of review for it!

  Personally, I think Canon has lost it in the camera making businesses.

  Well, they still make good DSLR cameras ... right? I haven't actually used one, but people say the EOS cameras are good.

  EOS is good in the film era.
  
  The modern EOS series in digital line up is better in the D and DS series: 1.3X and Full frame respectively.

Very cool.

I agree with you Wager,
Roen you deserve the right attention, I'm not a photographer though I really love your way of expressing your passion and this comes out from your photos! As for me Cmos, ccd, sx10 etc are worse than arab or chinese languages! Lol!
