Film better ... always better, haha!

Why confused? Technology always improve, last time carburator, now fuel-injection, last time CCD now CMOS ... what is so difficult to understand?

If you say why they didn't phase out carburator cars and replace all new cars with fuel-injection ones are beyond me, manufacturers have their own reasons. CCD technology also same.

Mmm ... I am not any Canon guru but I feel that you're very ill-informed here. The CCD and CMOS technology are invented back in the 1960s, so neither of them are 'emerging technologies'.

Factories did not CREATE cheap CMOS for China-made cameras. China bulk purchased the sensors and incorporate them into their products, it's a huge difference. Ppl like Samsung, Toshiba, Sony and Canon (among others) are all sensor manufacturers.

Nope, far from it. Canon uses CCD for their compact digicams, CMOS sensors from the EOS 300D onwards. Nikon uses CCDs for all their compact digicams and DLSRs except the top pro models which uses LBCAST sensors.

So ... there is no cold war here, only ill-informed members come lit fire to an otherwised very knowledgeable topic

From where Mao comes from, obviously he doesn't know how a cat catches a mouse. A white cat is very visible during daytime or night time and might starve easier than a black one if it is only looking for a mouse. A black cat that is visible during daytime and completely invisible even to humans at night, might be able to cari makan easier.

What Mao wanted to teach the Chinese community was "You remain a White Cat and I remain a Black Cat, you will starve from time to time, so I will I feed you".

Like THAT also you all dun understand!
