When Canon started dabbling with CMOS chips, they were considered inferior to CCD's in image quality but less expensive to manufacture. What Canon did right, IMHO, was to continue to develop the CMOS chip. That they are the only camera company making their own chip was a good business decision where they wanted to separate themselves from the other DSLR manufacturers. Butch
