Recently RED and the SI-1920HDVR claim to offer really high resolutions using CMOS sensors. On the HVX200 board, I heard someone say that a CMOS looks way more like film.
Untill recently I had never heard of a CMOS chip. When I did hear about it, it was always as a cheap alternative to CCDs and that it produced more noise and a less pleasing image.
If this is the case then why are these supposedly way better cameras using them (and in the SI-1920HDVR's case, only 1). Is the single chip perhaps the reason I find the colors a bit disapointing compared to the HVX200. For that matter, is it likely that one of the reasons the HVX200 looks better than the JVC HD100 color wise (aside from the 4:2:2 sampling over 4:2:0) because it has 3 CCDs instead of just one?
