If I correctly remember from what I've read about the difference between CMOS and CCD sensors, CMOS can be read out much faster than CCD?

And can be read out continuously, I believe.

I'm not sure on the details anymore.

But from what I recall, in effect CCD is not as suitable for film, or for continuous EVF / LCD display, due to the different way it works.

Hi Tim, I addressed this:

" I think a modern version of the Super CCD would do it much better with even higher quality images. And of course it would be need to be CMOS, not CCD, so it would apply just as well for video as it does stills. "

SORRY!

I completely overlooked this when reading your post!

😳

But when a SuperCCD is a CMOS it's not a SuperCCD anymore... And so I latched on to the "CCD" part of it and overlooked that bit.
