CMOS Image Sensors Catch Up

More than the resolution it is the speed of image capture + higher sensitivity that matters in photography. I have seen 4 & 5 megapixel ccd cameras giving finer details than the 12 mpxl & higher cameras. Maybe because the exposure time is so short that there is no possibility of shake affecting the image. Pixel size can always be compensated for by a properly designed & matched optics.

I am talking from 1st hand experience of using both amateur level Casio camera and a professional level Canon camera.

The main problems with digital capture is the time it takes the electronics to set up between shots. I have a high end Olympus 8Mp camera and it has image stabilization built in. It works very well. But it takes 3-4 secs to store the image and reset for the next take. Another annoyance is the shutter lag, the time between pushing the button and the image being captured. I still prefer 35mm film.
