Nice explanation of CMOS vs CCD.

additionally, CMOS is noisier to CCD in comparison because each electrical charge from each photosite is read out individually, introducing its own noise, albeit very small but still a measurable amount.

This thread went sideways quick.

How did we get from my post wanting Fujifilm to resurrect the Super CCD sensor tech to a debate about cmos vs ccd?

Nevermind I don't really care. lol

Let me be clear, this thread was started primarily because of my admiration of the dual pixel technology used in the Super CCD. I'm proposing that a new fabrication, i.e. updated CMOS version of the same technology be incorporated and used in a future camera.

That is all. Nothing more or less.

I'm sure it could be done and I think there are so many potential advantages, taking sensor tech further, beyond even the crazy limits we see these days.
