On another and not totally unrelated subject, to my shock, I see that
several DSLRs don't come with CMOS sensors. Aside from the single
lens, I thought *all* DSLRs "had to have" a CMOS sensor.

nope. up until a couple of years ago, nikon, pentax and sony had ccd
sensors in their slrs (all made by sony). now most have cmos.

And some still consider that Sony's last DSLR with a CCD sensor, the
A350/380, has slightly superior low ISO resolution and colour to their
latest CMOS sensor of the same size, as in the A550. The advantage of
the CMOS sensor is much better high ISO noise performance.
