Well, swings and roundabouts. I have yet to use this sensor on my RC16, where the sampling would favour larger pixels. The big difference between this chip and the KAF16803 is the noise...note that the pixel values of the median combined CCD vary just 8 ADU, the CMOS however has a bell curve well over 100 ADU wide. A bit like 1600 grit sandpaper vs 80 grit...the CCD gives you a much smoother finish...
