To be fair, those of us who see low light usage or a decent FPS as a must
would prefer CMOS. That said, I can never understand why all of you rise to
Mark's posts on this subject again and again and again. What difference
does it make? Use what you want, and what suits you. Why have such a thin
skin on such inconsequential banalities?
Cheers
