If you spend a lot of time reading about cameras, you’re probably familiar with the terms CMOS sensor and CCD sensor, as they describe the two most popular digital camera sensor types. You probably ...

In compact cameras, CCD still dominates. Where CMOS has caught on most widely is videocameras, mobile phone cameras, and notably, SLR cameras.

CMOS vs. CCD “The biggest paradigm shifts in the industrial and scientific camera industry are occurring in sensor technology, where nearly all camera manufacturers are now embracing ...

Key CCD/CMOS differences The obvious difference between these technologies is that CMOS sensors inherently have no vertical smear. Therefore, when using CMOS-based cameras you can shoot just as you ...

CCD and CMOS sensors are used for digital imaging. CCD-based image sensors currently offer the best available image quality.

So if Canon indeed swaps CCDs for CMOS, that signals that CMOS sensors have reached parity with CCD devices, at least for digital video cameras. You'll note that the rumor mentioned APS-C sized ...
