Technologically no, in terms of quality, vastly. (And in terms of price,
even more!)

Yes, but the quality improvements it's experienced in the past 3-4 years
are greater than all those in the 26-27 years prior.
If you look at how far CMOS sensors have improved over the past few
years the trend is even more dramatic. 

It is anticipated that CMOS sensor fabs will be springing up in China in
the next few years. Watch the prices drop then. We ain't seen nuthin'
yet.
