I would really love to get a 32 gig ipod touch 4th gen (260 bucks on amazon) but i only got 205. my parents say that they wont pay a single cent and that i have to keep on working to get the money. will they decrease soon???? please reply soon


Answer
As with all the electronics out there, prices are always the highest around Christmas. I expect them to decrease in the next year. You may want to wait though, because in mid-late 2011, Apple is expected to come out with the iPod 5g, which, acording to some review will have the same 8 megapixel camera as the iPhone 4. I'd say wait until then, if you can. I want it too, but I'm waiting to upgrade from my iPod touch 3g, considering I only got it in June or July.

In digital photography who won the battle, CMOS or CCD?

In the latest generations of DSLRs and even budget level dig cameras which technology has won out, CCD or CMOS and why? Thanks!


Answer
Keerok's right, the technologies are ultimately suited to different applications. This is partially because the manner in which data is read from each is different. There are other considerations like power consumption and the overall plexity of the image processing system behind the sensor that affect the manufacturers' choices.

Most of the larger medium format SLRs are still using CCD sensors and it's argued that this is because of greater dynamic range. It is also said this is done to to help get 30+ megapixels of data to be pushed to the buffer and processed as quickly as possible so the photographer isn't forced to wait several seconds between shots while the camera is still processing an image. I don't know if I buy the latter but, I've seen plenty of evidence supporting the former.

As for most of the 35mm derived DSLR market, it does seem that CMOS has ultimately won that fight for now. I say this only because all of the current models from Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, and Sony are using CMOS sensors at this time and it seems many new APS-C format video cameras are using the same sensors in spite of the rolling shutter issues that accompany the use of a single CMOS sensor for video. It seems the big swing started when Nikon finally followed Canon into the full-frame DSLR market with their D3. That was news worthy to be sure but, the D300 they offered at the same time had surprised even Canon with it's high ISO image quality which had long been one of Canon's selling points for their in-house manufactured CMOS sensor. Before 2007 and the introduction of the Nikon D3 and D300; Nikon, Konica-Minolta, Pentax and most other manufacturer were using CCD's manufactured by Sony.

Having said all this, its hard to predict where the next big leap in technology will lead. We could find ourselves going right back to CCDs or something else may come along. I'm not sure that those of us who are into photography for the sake of photography will really care either way because at this point, whether a camera is CCD or CMOS has little if any impact on our work flow. Newer cameras are allowing greater latitude with respect to how much light we need for a good exposure but, the need to sculpt our subject with the most flattering light hasn't changed and I doubt it ever will unless we reach a point where we have honest to goodness holographic cameras. I don't know that anyone viewing this text in 2011 will live long enough to see that.
