ccd vs. cmos sensor?

I was looking for opinions and preference's from Pond5 users with regards to ccd or a cmos sensor.

I know cmos sensors can have some terrible jello-ing and I have experienced it myself.

I'm just kind of fishing for pro's and con's from videographers.

Since most here will have an opinion on which is better why not research your question in Wikipedia for an non bias answer. Myself I have both ccd and cmos video camcorders and have not had any problems with either Some have complained about their DSLR's producing jelloing effects but I have not experienced that problem with a camcorder using cmos sensors.

Agree with Jason, both my Canon 5D MKII and 7D do in certain conditions have a slight jello rolling effect that make the videos worthless. My Canon HV-20 and XH-A1 never showed any problems other than slightly more noise than the 5D.

If you are going to be shooting action where there is going to be a lot of camera movement like a war scenario or racing 3ccd is best. Look at the Panasonic HMC150, XH-A1, or the compact JVC HM100u. I would prefer a Compact Flash Memory version of the XH-A1 but Canon has never shown any model of an AVCHD XH-A1.

I like CMOS, but for no apparent reason. I have an Fx1000 and mark II. I wouldn't let the sensor be the deciding factor, unless you are looking at the size.

@ Jason..... that's really what I'm after. Opinions.

I can read all of the technical jargon until I'm purple, but I'm more interested in real world experience. I'm hoping that with the Pond5 milieu, I can fill in the holes that most techie sites leave open.

Has anyone here ever tried some side by side comparisons?

well the video on the right is obviously better. No opinion. ----> that one is better.

I recently saw the motorcycle video. That is kind of what prompted my question.

@skinnytrain Here are three clips taken with a HDR FX1000 using cmos sensors. The camera was mounted on a tripod on the front seat of a compact car with the steadyshot (Sony's term for stabilizer) on. Believe me a camera and tripod on the front seat is not very stable. In no way do these clip exhibit the same problem as in the motorcycle clip.
