Hi,S.
The CCD is more superior than the CMOS Chip hands down and un-disputable.
I have been following CMOS technology since it was introduced in digital devices. I have also conducted some side-by-side tests. The CMOS concept was invented to produce more pixels in a image sensor chip at a cheaper productions cost. Well, they managed to do a good job with that, but the end result was not better than CCD. CCD technology is expensive, the chips are more delicate to make for high quality results which drives the productions costs up.
With out going into fine detail comparisons, I will say this. It takes at least 20% more CMOS pixels to be comparable to CCD pixel quality. In the mid-range scale of RGB, Both have are very similar, but in the lower and higher end of the RGB scale the CCD is superior. The CCD retains better digital data.
CMOS VS CCD technology applies to every digital device in general regardless if its HD or not.
