Provided you can get hold of full data sheet.. which may be quite challenging in some cases.
BTW, I have couple of Japanese CCD's even with some data sheet. If you are interested, you can have them :-)
BW CCD surveillance cameras may be a good source for CCD's (small pixel number again, but VERY sensitive, especially in IR).
TC237 from Texas Instruments is still available (it is small though.. but very sensitive, with large pixels).
It is US$25 or so. They also have a range of specialised chips for scientific applications, some of them with integrated peltier (expensive though).
