One thing, talking on the the canadian news about his invetion, they
said
that CCD are in digital cameras and they were showing constantly DSLR
cameras.
I don't believe there are DSLR with CCD sensor, are there?



Yes, there are. My D70 has a CCD sensor.

CCD was in many DSLR before CMOS became practical.


Just to be clear, CMOS isn't just for sensors. It's been practical for
years as the predominant process for making computer processors since
the 80's.


Yes, I know. I was referring to CMOS in digital camera sensors.
