CCD

CCD


  • Short for charge-coupled device, CCD is an image sensor used with digital cameras that converts light into an electrical charge and processed into electrical signals. When compared to CMOS sensors, CCD requires a lot more electrical power and is much slower at converting images into digital data. However, CCD is a lot less susceptible to noise and is better in low-light situations. It can produce higher quality images with minimal noise.

  • CCD sensors have been used in digital cameras for much longer than CMOS sensors, but CMOS sensors are catching up in terms of capabilities. It will only be a matter of time before CMOS sensors can produce higher quality images than CCD sensors.
