Article needs improvement
This article is not very useful because it does not clearly explain how image sensing is done. I don't see the need for having a huge table with sensor names and sizes when what the article really needs is a section that unveils the technology (possibly before making the CCD/CMOS technology comparison). This section is somewhat unclear: "Neither technology has a clear advantage in image quality.[citation needed] On one hand, CCD sensors are more susceptible to vertical smear from bright light sources when the sensor is overloaded; high-end CMOS sensors in turn do not suffer from this problem. On the other hand, cheaper CMOS sensors are susceptible to undesired effects that come as a result of rolling shutter.[citation needed]". Also, what would be the source of the overload?

- Agreed. I assumed, coming here, I'd find out how the shutter-speed is managed. Seems like a trivial enough thing. Nothing. JohndanR (talk) 15:05, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- Typically, that's done with a conventional mechanical shutter (focal-plane shutter in the case of DSLRs). Electronic rolling shutter is also common. I'll add something. Dicklyon (talk) 16:45, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
This article seems biased toward CMOS sensors over CCD sensors, as it touts CMOS's improved speed and cheaper cost, but does not include information regarding CMOS's greater susceptibility to noise over CCDs (especially in low light conditions). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.201.27.32 (talk) 00:02, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
Freme
"Because the color gel segment must be separated from the others by a freme (similar to stained glass windows)"... does that word really exist? MarkMLl (talk) 18:53, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- I took it out. The whole sentence was nonsense. There is no frame or freme or other structure around the filters. Dicklyon (talk) 17:10, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
