CMOS vs. CCD (yet again)

CMOS sensors are cheap, have great dynamic range, and will let you ‘window’ to increase frame rate. CCD sensors are less noisy and produce a higher quality image.

Need we say more?

Well Toshiba Teli have something to say on the subject. Their new
12 megapixel camera (link courtesy of Test & Measurement World,) utilizes a CMOS sensor to deliver high frame rates. 12 Mpixel images at 25fps is very impressive. No word on pricing, but I’m estimating something in the $5,000 - $7,000 range.
