CCD sensors were once all the rage in digital photography, but they have since been replaced by CMOS technology. Why did the industry end up switching?

Guessing by the noise improvements... I'm going to say that they [the industry] just can't get noise levels down enough on CCD sensors hence the move to CMOS. Nikon made some serious leaps and bounds ...

Since they were introduced a decade ago, CMOS-APS sensors have rapidly become the first choice for high-speed area scan imaging. Up to now, most line scan cameras have been equipped with charged ...
