I have always loved the big pixel CCD look.  It is super less digital looking than any CMOS.

I still long for a big pixel CCD digital  back for my Mamiya RZ67 II, sigh...

I wished someone would come out a newly designed camera based on a big pixel CCD, I would buy one.  Though, it would be a high niche product, with very low sales, so, I'm afraid it will never happen, what a shame...

Why, why they killed SUPER-CCD development!?

It's that higher ISO performance that let the CCD down. As CMOS almost caught up with it at lower ISOs, the CCD's days were numbered.

You're right though, CCD was always the boss and remains unbeaten where higher ISOs were not required (which is what I meant about unchallenging light in my answer above).
