CCD and CMOS image sensors

Now a days most of the digital (point and shoot) and SLR (single lens reflex) are coming with either a CCD image sensor or with  a CMOS image sensor. These are the two image sensors widely used in digital technology in image processing.

CCD stands for Charge-Coupled Device, this image sensors is mostly used all over the world, but most commonly used in high end SLR camera's. These sensors are equipped with large circuit, they provide great images without any noise. Yes, they are consume much power and are much costly when compared to CMOS.

CMOS stands for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, these image sensors are modern electronics circuit. Unlike CCD image sensor they provide less quality images. These sensors are found in low end camera's mainly in point and shoot camera's. The main merit of these sensors is that they consume very less power and are cheaper in price.
