I've heard nothing but problems caused by the rolling shutter of CMOS censors, whether its EX1, EX3, or even Red. The Skew, wobble, partial exposure. What I don't understand is, I've never seen any of these problems in photos shot on Canon's DSLRs like the 5D, which has a CMOS censor. Even with slow shutterspeeds, I would always see normal motion blur with no skew at all.
I tried researching CMOS censors, and how they differ from CCDs, but to be honest, most of the science went right over my head. The only thing I took from it was that with a CCD, pixels are transferred all at once, and with CMOS, pixels are transferred individually. So I'm guessing thats why each frame would have to be scanned from pixel to pixel, or from line to line, from top to bottom.
Is there, or will there ever be such thing as a CMOS censor with a global shutter? Or is that impossible due to the way each pixel is transferred individually?
