I've been teaching myself digital camera jargon in preparation 
for a *istD. Finding that some cameras have CMOS sensors, and 
others have a CCD, I did some searching and found some useful 
web pages:

http://www.kodak.com/US/en/corp/researchDevelopment/technologyFeatures/cmos.shtml

To summarise: the *istD is CCD, which is the longer-established 
technology. It's expensive and uses a lot of power, but best for 
sensitivity and noise, at present.
