The difference lies in the way work.
And, the answer to above query is there in the link that you have provided. Cost factor.
Canon's CMOS technology is superior to other manufacturers. They have a special technology that will rectify the disadvantages of the CMOS over CCD.

Guess, this will answer most of your questions.

Simple answer: Because CMOS tech now has advanced far enough to match CCD quality.
There is also a complex corollary to it. CCDs cannot be reduced in size beyond a point. That means, to pack in high megapixel numbers, the physical size of the sensor has to be increased. As you know, this is impractical once you reach full-frame (Anything bigger, and you're better off with a medium format). CMOS, by virtue of being semiconductor based, allows the manufacturers to increase pixel density without physically making the sensor larger. the 20MPX plus counts sported by today's full-frame DSLRs are simply not possible with CCDs.
Medium to high end video cameras still stick with CCD because they are not bothered by resolution races and (arguably) to preserve maximum dynamic range.

the only high end camera that i know uses CCD is the fuji s5pro.one for resolution and one for the dynamic range.there are no stupid questions.
but there are stupid people.Comment

Thanks for your exhaustive replies guys!
So now can I safely assume if I were to buy a cam, say a UltraZoom types I should'nt be too bothered about the sensor type i.e. CCD/CMOS.
Like between the Canon SX 1 IS and SX 10 IS the quality of the image would'nt be any different assuming I am shooting pics in JPEG?_________________________

Yes, canon had an advantage, but that is past. Lets talk abt the present, Nikon has caught up with canon and might be it has also moved ahead. Lets not get into this fight.......... I will leave it hereOriginally posted by ravi@17bhp View Post

Note:- My reply was just to tell that canon does not have a big big advantage as it had over its rivals in the past.
Well some good news for SLR lovers.

And when are they going to put that superior tech in their Cams??Originally posted by ravi@17bhp View Post
As of now Nikon D3 and Sony A900 is beating them hands down in high ISO performance!!Comment

Well, it's a trade-off. On the flip side, you get to use quite a few fast MF primes and they are available for peanuts in the used market. If you DO want AF, the new AF-S 18-200 VR (which has some decent reviews) would replace atleast two lenses in terms of utility for the average joe. From what I heard from the shopkeepers, this is a very popular lens among D60 and even D80 buyers here who trade their kit lenses for it.Originally posted by anvancy View Postno motor and then lens with motor bothers me price wise.ie both ways.
Yes, a cheap and fast AF normal prime is lacking in Nikon's portfolio right now. The 35mm F1.8 AF-S has just been introduced in the market and is a tad expensive. Hopefully it would get cheaper in a few months. An AF-S version of the 50mm F1.8 would have been great.
Of course, the third party market is always there to fill the gaps, isn't it?

Hi all.my photography skills is getting better day by day as i am practising daily . But watever shots i am taking are on my friends camera. Guys i will be buying my first digicam. My budget is 10k max. This cam would be used by my parents too. I love macro shots. Is there a good digicam in this range because i cant extend my budget at the moment. I was initially planning to buy the SONY H10 but dropped it as it was for 14k. Please help guys as i need to buy one before 29th of this month as i am off for a long trip.........till then will try to increase my budget but for now 10k only.
and heard that canons are the best....please throw some suggestions

@Addy: Go for the Canon 590IS, this is one of the best digital cam one can have with a budget of <10k. I have personally used it for a prolonged period of time and functionality is pretty neat. It do have macro made which is good enough to deliver some neat macro shots.
PS: The Smart Photography also recommends this in 10k budget range.Comment

@Addy: All the digital cameras in the market shoot more or less the same kind of macro (close-up) shots. I will suggest you give us atleast a few choices so that we and you both can finally choose the best amongst those in this particular (10k) price range.

go for the fujifilm F60FD.or for zoom compacts,1000 or 1500.there are no stupid questions.
but there are stupid people.Comment

@bandhav- will check the canon surely, thanks a lot
@aryan-well buddy, macro is just one of the features i want...well i am actually inclined towards close up/macro shots...anyways i am a proper rookie in photography so i have no idea and have no choices too. i hope you understand. i just want you guys to recommend me one as you guys are pretty experienced and use DSLR's( will buy it some day). right now i am using my friends sony cybershot W120. the performance seems ok. it seems like the camera needs to be in a right mood to perform so i am not quite happy with the sony...but the other- sony H10 blew me away.
and aryan da pls check your pm
@anvancy- wil check it bro, thanks
and please guys suggest me a good place to buy the digicam in delhi.
regards

Jonak, finally, the day arrived. Every hardcore bike someday feels the necessity of the Cam.Originally posted by Jonak View Post
You have selected a good one. Nice zoom range with manual controls in a compact camera. Reviews are good and go for it.
