In a CMOS sensor, each pixel has its own amplifier. Unfortunately, there is variation between the amplifiers. As a result, the amount the voltage is amplified varies from one pixel to another. This is called fixed pattern noise.

Like the CMOS sensor shown on page 88, this CCD sensor has a native ISO that can't be changed. The amplifiers further along in the camera's circuitry boost the signal to change the 'speed.' Boosting the signal also boosts noise, however.
A CCD or CMOS embedded into a circuit board, ready for installation into a digital camera. The rainbow-colored part will sit precisely in the focus zone of the body of the camera facing the lens.
Building sensors (CMOS chips) of the same size as 35mm film is still extremely expensive. Cameras with such sensors cost more than many photo enthusiasts are willing to spend. The simple solution is to use smaller sensors.

CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconducter)
Two types of sensors used in digital cameras.
Film and digital cameras work the same way in most parts, except digital cameras use CCD or CMOS instead of film. Light passes through the lens and exposes the film in traditional cameras.
You probably already know if your CCD or CMOS sensor is suffering from dust spots, but if you want to see just how bad things actually are, stop the lens down to f/22 and shoot an evenly illuminated bright subject.

Nikon has released an impressive sounding set of imaging improvements, starting with a new proprietary JFET LBCAST CCD (a Nikon version of CMOS that allows higher speed output), in camera imaging enhancements, and a new and improved Capture 4.
Today the CCD faces competition from another technology - Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS), which was invented at about the same time as CCD.
These digital sensors are computer "chips" with names like CCD, CMOS, Foveon, or others. They take the place of a piece of film that must be moved across the focal plane of the camera.
Nikon’s Photo-J flagship, the D3s has a 12MP full-sized FX format CMOS sensor, which will deliver reasonably-sized images natively. As with the Canon 1Ds Mark IV, the D3s offers extraordinary low-noise image quality at ISO 12,800.
The new reality is that CCD and CMOS sensors do not reflect light the same way that film does, and so the strobes that were calibrated to analog media will not work for digital.

In-camera stabilization actually moves the CCD or CMOS array (the digital chip that records the image) in response to small movements and camera shake in an effort to counter those and capture a sharper image.
Canon identified better saturation, greater ISO range, easier use of wide-angle lenses, and less noise as some of the reasons for preferring 24x36mm CMOS sensors for pro cameras.
CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) and CMOS
These are the two most common used sensors in digital cameras. The sensors collect and stores the data like the traditional film do. The better the sensor is the less noise will be introduced.
Noise Ninja removes a large portion of the noise that is inherent in the CMOS memory chips in my cameras, and I've spent a considerable amount of time making sure that the calibration is correct.

Here's why - the cost to manufacture a CCD or CMOS chip that is super-sensitive to a wide range of tonal (light) values is expensive. You'll find these expensive chips in professional-level SLRs, not in your $300 point-and-shoot model.
Capturing a digital image is a process of exposing the light sensitive image sensor (CCD or CMOS) to light. There are many things that happen in a digital camera before the file is written to the camera's storage card.
