Let me state at the outset that I know the question of whether CCD is inherently different from CMOS is old and that both sides in the debate have not only beaten the dead horse but beaten it into dust. Despite this, I couldn't help but notice what seems to me a fairly recent statement on Phase One's product site:
So there seems to be something of a concession by a leading manufacturer that CCD has qualities not yet matched by CMOS. This strikes me as particularly interesting inasmuch as Hasselblad no longer lists any CCD back on its site.
If unmatched tonal subtlety and detail retention is a must, the CCD sensor technology of the IQ3 80MP is a perfect fit. If ISO flexibility and LiveView workflow are needed, the IQ3 100MP and IQ3 50MP CMOS solutions are at your disposal.
