Wherever the Journey Goes

Easier to handle and more compact and powerful: These are the characteristics new ­camera models should have when introduced to the market. Thereby, the cameras' performance is pushed by the developments in the consumer market. One consequence is the availability of new CMOS sensors with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels and global shutter technology. According to first tests, these sensors exceed the light sensitivity of existing sensors. Does this mean that CCD cameras are now becoming redundant? more08.07.2010
