Let us compare the CMOS sensor with the CCD sensor:

  1. The CMOS sensor is more susceptible to electrical noise than the CCD sensor.

  2. On condition that each pixel on a CMOS sensor has several transistors located next to it, its light sensitivity will be lower since many of the photons hit the transistors rather than the light-sensitive CMOS.
  3. CMOS consumes up to 100 times less power than the CCD sensor.

  4. CMOS is cheaper since it can be made on any standard production line making silicon chips.

  5. CMOS can operate from a wide range of supply voltage.

Thus CCDs tend to be used in digital cameras if high-quality images are required with good light sensitivity.
