In an era where digital photography is dominated by CMOS sensors, I find myself holding onto something different: every digital camera I own today has a CCD sensor – and I could not be happier!
In the end it wasn’t a problem with the CCD itself, but with the connector on the PCB that received the flat cable. It wasn’t holding the contacts tight, but [Imsolidstate] fixed that with a ...
