Image Sensors replace negative film
The image sensors in a digital camera replaces the film. It make pictures that produced by camera become digital photos.
Negative Film
There are two main types of sensors used in D-SLR cameras. They are the CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) and the CCD (Charge Coupled Device).
Both image sensors have their particular idiosyncrasies, and they have various characteristics that should be taken into account when purchasing. So it’s important to look at some example files and research the characteristics of the system you intend to purchase.
When professional photographers are choosing and purchasing a camera system, they like to shoot some comparison test shots with the digital cameras they’re considering. Where possible, emulate this practice. Check the files in the image-editing software on your computer. Make sure both cameras are tested with all in-camera sharpening turned off to allow for a fair comparison. A camera technician at your local store can show you how to do this.
