Have a look at <http://www.dalsa.com/markets/ccd_vs_cmos.asp> and you will see that both have advantages in different areas. >From the start of the article: "While they are often seen as rivals, CCDs and CMOS imagers have unique strengths and weaknesses that make them appropriate to different applications. Neither is categorically superior to the other, although vendors selling only one technology often claim otherwise. The choice depends far more on the application...and the vendor." <http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,566961,00.asp> also has some useful comparisons bye for now Keith Cooper Northlight Images http://www.northlight-images.co.uk Photography - Digital Imaging - Apple Mac Consultancy Tel +44 (0)116 291 9092 Mobile +44 (0)780 162 9397 =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
