The Canon EOS 300D uses a cmos not a cdd, but because the sensor is approximately 3/4 size of 35mm film and it uses no interpolation to produce the raw data whereas most ccd sensors are usually a small fraction of that size (1/4 for the Sony F828). When it first came out, the 300D creamed equivalent cameras that used ccd sensors, one reason being the larger sensor did no have the same issues or cross talk between the receptors. Be that as it may, I agree, you don't don't need to stuff all the pixels available with the higher res cameras to get good results unless you have a specific need for fine detail in closeup. Side by side 6-8meg caneras. (www.dpreview.com ixs7000%2Csony_dscf828&show=all) I stand corrected :blush: that a cmos sensor cannot equal a ccd sensor, but and its a big but, the Canon EOS 300D is not your average consumer camera and I stand by that all things being equal, cmos sensors that are used in generally available in consumer cams are not the equal of ccd sensors |

It will depend, of course, on the needs of the user (the thread starter). |
