Which type of sensor is better, CCD or CMOS

Actually it is hard to describe which one is better. CCD and CMOS are two different sensor types with different technology. Traditional CCD is regarded as high end product and CMOS is low end product (except sCMOS). But now the situation is quite different. With the development of CMOS technology, CMOS could reach equal or better performance than CCD. Sony already announced the stop of CCD products and use CMOS to replace CCD because they have strong confidence with their new generation CMOS. CMOS is getting much better now in the following aspects: sensitivity, noise control, output speed. For sure, CMOS will be the future.
