I was following you until you made the following (IMHO) preposterous
statement. Part of the reason for buying a Canon 5D was its low noise
performance at high ISO. I couldn't have cared less whether Canon
achieved that with CMOS or CCD or baked mud pies with embedded
circuitry... and still don't. Buyers choose CMOS over CCD because of a
"change in the lettering"? 98% of them haven't a clue what any of it
means. Gimme me a break!
