CCD vs CMOS Sensors

[danfuerthgillis]

Which begs the suspicious question I have always had, why would an ecosystem be formed around using CMOS for video capturing when the rolling shutter issue and the high noise was known from the start. This coincides with PRO CMOS sensors not having this issue while the consumer side is opposite of that. Seems like someone wanted to remove the old DV cameres with CCD's out of the market so we would get stuck with inferior technology. We lost DV cameras back in the early 2000's because some cameras had the ability to record S-video and CBS into the camera and recorded as DV, which would then be transferred to your computer with firewire. Hollywood hated these features in DV cameras, so much so that they forced all companies to remove the inputs on DV cameras. I still have my old JCV GRD 8 series DV camera that had no noise at night using only it's built in light. We lost CCD technology which did not have the pathetic noise problems of CMOS because the PRO market want to eliminate the entrance of "Amateurs" intro the pro level world. This is why DVCPRO was never marketed to the consumer level even though we were already using the DV codec!!!.

this actually taught me something, thank you

Still thinking about getting a medium format ccd camera for night scapes and Astro. There's a quite a few that can be had used for a decent price that will out perform almost anything modern in certain fields

Simple and well explained. Thanks so much!

Failed to add that CMOS records each line of the image in succession, which is what causes the rolling shutter effect. Also, CCD / global shutter takes a complete snapshot of the image across the entire sensor.

Hi, CAn yuo let us know what program you used to create this video? image is very good!!!

[wingfufung]

can't believe I compare the photo quality of my xz premium and my 10 years ago canon s95 ccd camera. the quality of s95 is way better and the photo has much more detail.

Hi, do 3 smaller sensors like 1/2.8 look better than 1 larger 1 inch?

Is there a way to collect the individual photon detection events paired up with timestamps using CCD or CMOS sensors? It seems like regular video formats fail to capture all the raw data detectable with those chips because it only represents totals grouped by frame. For example, a conventional video file would indicate the total counted red photons for a 1/60 of a second time interval at pixel 0, 0. A continuous stream of precisely timestamped photons, their coordinates, and colour would be much more flexible. It would be easier to choose a frame rate later, for example.

Hello
Can we find out the image movent distance though ccd

CMOS is cheap garbage. For good image quality you need more sensitive CCD.

So CCD is superior, my old camera used CCD, i have upgraded to DSLR (wich is "superior") so Canon and Nikon DSLR, who every pro photographers use and Sony, have CMOS sensor..so wait!!! I'm amzed .. the best Cameras in the world Nikon D850 and Canon 5D mk3 uses CMOS ... wtf :)):)):)): isn't this contradictory?? omg :))
