capabilities of CMOS sensors. Olympus uses MOS sensors in most of its DSLRs. JFET (Junction Field Effect Transistor) LBCAST (Lateral Buried Charge Accumulator &Sensor Transistor array) JFET LBCAST sensors are similar to CMOS sensors, but can move data faster...

more power then CMOS and are usually more expensive to produce. CMOS - Traditionally, CMOS sensors were more susceptible to noise, causing poor low-light performance, but camcorder makers have made a great deal of improvements to their CMOS sensors. CMOS also...

for less than $700. Canon uses the term "newly enhanced" in referring to the new APS-C size CMOS sensor it both designed and manufactures. That means the sensor is based on the XTi’s sensor, but upgrades have been added for the 30D. For example the new sensor...
