[Leica] To Sell or Not to Sell now Canon CA and Leica

Doug,

>>Having seen what a Kodak CCD does behind Leica glass, a CMOS sensor
would not get me too excited.<<

I did some research on this CCD vs CMOS thing some time ago. After
reading and reading and reading I concluded that the type of sensor --
although they are different in many ways -- doesn't really matter to
potential image quality. CCD technology was ahead in the early days, but
CMOS technology was catching up, and by now may very well have caught
up. Things like microlenses, AA filters, and even camera firmware have a
much greater impact on image quality than what type of sensor is used,
although I could be wrong. If one sensor type really does have an
advantage over the other (in terms of potential image quality, and not
manufacturing cost, power consumption, etc., etc.) I'd sure like to hear
about it.
