Hm, so the Foveon II is not a professional camera?
What about their 16MPixel CMOS sensor?
And the C-MOST (which uses CMOS technology) sensor
from Leaf?
etc.

For applications with high bandwidth (frames/s) the
latest CMOS are supperior. For still cameras it is
pretty much there. Some people even claim that the
best CMOS are better then the best CCDs. I am not sure
about that, though. Also I agree with you that CMOS
does not have image quality *advantages* yet but the
latest sensors are *extremly* close to CCDs for
professional still image applications. That is why all
the companies for professional digital camera/backs
just did come out (or soon will) with solutions with
CMOS. This includes the companies mentioned above,
plus Kodak, Canon, etc. The (long lasting) transition
just started and I would bet more money that the new
professional camera from Canon has a CMOS sensor
rather then I would be for a CCD sensor.
But enough for now.
