| This video to the left gives a very basic visual demonstration of the differences between each sensor. CCD sensors work in rows while the CMOS sensors register individual information at each pixel and then shuffle the information to a master unit. Look below for more information about each sensor. |

| There are issues with digital sensors such as motion fragmenting and rolling "jelly" shutter effects. Make sure you're using the right sensor for your project. For example, if you're going to film quite a lot of motion where the camera itself is moving around then you may want to use a CCD sensor camera. However, if you're not doing much movement and the camera will be locked down with a relatively static frame then CMOS sensors will work just fine. |
