So is the CMOS gathering data in a similar fashion as a CCD,but with out the CCD?One BIG digital problem with the CCD is dust on the filter.Is this now eliminated or greatly reduced with CMOS. I know i will eventually have to or want to upo grade from the 2.74 megapixel to a higher unit.Just not sure what is better or more stable,CMOS or CCD. Cotty, i beleive you mentioned shooting soccer was not a problem with the Canon correct,and shutter lag was up there with SLR types. Dave ---- Begin Original Message ----
From: Cotty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Any CMOS comments....Cotty? >From what I gather, the CMOS uses vastly less power than a comparable CCD. This seems to bear out in practice. I have the grip with provision for 2 Liithium Ion battery packs, and the 2 packs. Charged up, with occasional snapping and say a good couple of hours shooting on a Saturday, so say about 400 exposures, maybe 450 in all, I can go a good 2 WEEKS before they're exhausted. I have disabled auto-shut-off. The camera stays on all the time when shooting unless I switch it off manually. The packs are amazing. Personally I wouldn't dally with AA-anything. .02pixels :-) Cot ____________________________________ Free UK Macintosh Classified Ads at http://www.macads.co.uk/ ____________________________________ Oh, swipe me!
