I would question the statement that CCDs were first designed
specifically for cameras. Wasn't the analog delay line the first use
of CCDs? The linear array CCD came along before the 2D matrix.

Exactly my own recollection, Don.

What I did find interesting was the different emphasis being put on the
reasons behind using CMOS - not because it provides a higher image
quality, but because it makes for a cheaper system, and that the quality
has only recently become "acceptable" for small sensors.

Maybe they realize a policy of honesty will draw more support.
