CCD vs CMOS for digital cameras

Beest · 11-21-2012, 03:16 PM

canon sx160 is on sale everywhere here for $150, looks like a great camera but it's CCD. 16 X zoom

Canon sx260 is $230 on amazon, 20 X zoom, cmos, but it doesn't take AA batteries, I like AA's as we have lot's for all the toys and there always lot's about and rechargeables. I was pleased to see that spare batteries for the sx260 aren't that expensive. It's breaking the $200 barrier, but probably worth it, if I could get a better deal on one I'd probably jump on it.

I'm trying to find out if there are any cmos cameras that use AA's, I'm expecting not.

EDIT:
HMM Nikon L610, cmos AA's, 14 x zoom, the little one we have is nikon, not all that keen on it.
