Usually the word "best" is a comparison of 2 or more. Considering you have a choice of one technology only in your camera selection, I guess the word "BEST" could be considered applicable. Let's try to get this grounded...... All the manufacturers are implementing CMOS, so for the foreseeable ( by us consumers) future, it is what we must learn to live with. It is the BEST we have. Note: I have no idea of what camera uses what kind of sensor technology, nor do I care. I have a Nikon D1x and a Leica M8. I am satisfied because they do what I want them to do. Frank Filippone red735i at earthlink.net Yes but that's what best means. Best for the job at hand. A sensor could be superior to CMOS but cost a million dollars it takes it out of the conversation I think. Nobodies going to be using it except NASA and the NSA. But the best sensor for high end consumer and pro digital cameras would seem to be CMOS at this point. As that's what they all are.
