CMOS or CCD whats the difference?
Can you look at a sensor and tell if its a CMOS type or a CCD type? Is interpolation done in the sensor or done with software in a chip or somthing?

CMOS only uses about 40% of pixel area for detecting photons and thus requires micro lenses to redirect light, but offers silicon logic at pixel level. http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00JO1v :? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=ccd+vs+cmos Still :?
