" Axis Says CCD is Better"
John,
I am not sure where this comes from but since the day the "Lightfinder" camera ( Q1602) was introduced the opposite was professed.

CCD's, heck everyone knows Silicon Intensified Target cameras (tube with intensifier) are the best at low light. One start light is all you needed, really..

If one is still into tubes - SIT is very good.
Remember there are other low light technologies that only the military and special customers can afford. (Export controlled and more)
ICCD (image intensifier CCD)
EB-CCD (electron bombardment CCD)
EM-CCD (electron mulitiplication CCD)
And the latest: Electron Bombarded Active Pixel Sensor which uses CMOS

a. it was a light hearted comment on my part but it is true they were avaialble to anyone (not just controled export) at about 15K per camera back in the day and had a huge integrated zoom lens. That did not include the HD (Heavy Duty not High Def) PTZ.
b. sorry, spell check error, one star light (a single star) not start light. My error.
c. considering it was late 60s early 70s you got very good but very expensive low light performance. Some of those cameras lasted 25 years in the field (when maintained properly).

What about CMOS vs MOS?

In overload, will get you data on Friday on semi-conductor technology

Does this effectively cede the security CCD market to Sharp's iSHartina line?
And you thought Effio was a weird name...

Slight backpedal by Sony?
Curiously, many of the links to the original statement have been taken down, including the allied one at the top of this article. One website said the link was removed at the request of Sony.

Someone needs to tell Sharp.
They just released 14 new high sensitivity security CCD's. Most are bigger than 1/3". Also two new 8MP 1" sensors are listed as under development.
