Thanks. You've answered many questions here, some of which I haven't asked >yet. Aside from battery life, what are the advantages of the IFR CCD's?I want to clarify in my previous that IFR CCD would not use less power in the camera. However, it affects how we use the LCD at the camera back and the way the camera operates the CCD (as there is no preview, it would only be switched on when taking photographs). For consumer DCs, the CCD and LCD are always switched on when doing the previews and movies-taking.
For IFR CCD, they have higher sensitivity at low light as it allows the use of bigger light sensor at each pixel due to the way the transmission circuits are arranged. They also have higher dynamic range than the CCDs in consumer DCs.
