Over the last few decades charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors have been slowly overtaken by CMOS sensors for applications ranging from mobile phone cameras to surveillance. But CCDs still have a lot to offer, particularly where extreme sensitivity and long exposures are crucial. And if their price continues to drop without compromising performance, CCD technology will be an appealing option for broader mid-market applications.
