CMOS Vs CCD, Sensor Formats, Continued. canon. You read it here first: Canon has broken the $1000 price point barrier for SLR digital cameras. With Canon's launch of the Canon EOS 300D, that magic price point of $1000 represents half of the cost of a top-of-the-range...

three types of sensors in most of the current crop of DSLRs: CCD CMOS and MOS. Nikon’s D2Hs uses a fourth type, a JFET LBCAST sensor. CCD (Charge Coupled Device) CCDs have traditionally been more sensitive to light, which usually produces a better dynamic...

on new compact digital cameras (PowerShot, Dimâge X, etc.), all of which certainly look very exciting.. The 50i is a very small device generating images of 2400 x 1800 pixels, i.e. 4.3 Mpixels, based on a 2.4 Mpixel sensor. The Super CCD sensor that it uses...

is easier to "extrapolate." To put it more succinctly, a SuperCCD sensor has three million photosites (each consisting of two photodiodes), and in addition to producing an image that is much richer than a mere CCD sensor with three million photosites, it can...

at a pricepoint of more than $4,000, but utilize different sensor technologies. Sony's DCR-VX2100 is based on the DV standard with three primary sensors, while JVC's GR-PD1 utilizes only a single CCD sensor. THG determines which approach reigns supreme.. Progressive...

are two examples of SLR models that are more accessible.. Both models use a 6 megapixel CCD sensor made by Sony, so they start off on an equal footing there. The differences stem from the way the sensor is used, and from the cameras' onboard software. If...

of the display. Another convenience feature of the C10 is that it can recharge via the USB cable or an AC outlet. The battery life is a remarkable 120 minutes in regular use.Image quality With its small (1/6-inch) 800,000 pixel CCD sensor, the C10 shoots...

too much distortion.  Coupled with the 12 Megapixel Super CCD sensor, it results in sharp photos with only a little blurring around the edge of the frame. In the past, Super CCD sensors were known as prone to the phenomenon of purple fringing, but Fujifilm...
