Whether CCDs are better than CMOS would depend on the sensors.
The top large CMOS sensors seem to be at a slightly early stage but considerably superior. They will mature and minor issues ironed out over time.
The KAF8300 has been a super popular sensor and there are many wonderful images using them. The QSI model that uses this sensor appears to be the best camera maker out there for the 8300.
The wsg 8 is the model. Just needs filters but because the filters are a small size you often see these cameras using the higher rated filters like 3nm Astrodons 31mm.
That makes them pretty immune to light pollution. and great for narrowband imaging.
5.4 micron pixels suit many middle focal length scopes which is what most would be using anyway but also would work on shorter focal length scopes.
If I were getting another KAF8300 camera it would be the QSI683wsg8.
Having the filter wheel and off axis guider all on the one body would be very convenient and time saving.
