CMOS vs CCD sensor; the CMOS has more stuff between the pixels for
processing, doing tricks on the sensor... something like that... maybe
gives you a clue what to look for at least. CMOS is generally considered
better for low noise because of the extra tricks. Apologies for being
wishy washy but I think that's the gist.
