Image Quality
Distortion
Minimized distortion, providing clearer images in fast-moving scenes.
May produce noticeable distortion, especially in high-speed scenarios.
Exposure Handling
Captures all pixels at once, leading to consistent exposure across the frame.
Can have varying exposure levels across the frame, depending on scanning speed.
Performance
Speed
Generally slower to capture due to the simultaneous exposure requirement.
Faster capturing capabilities as it scans rows of pixels sequentially.
Suitability for Video
Ideal for video recording without motion artifacts.
Often struggles with video due to rolling artifacts.
Cost and Use Cases
Cost
Typically more expensive to manufacture.
Generally more cost-effective and commonly used in consumer cameras.
Applications
Used in high-end applications like industrial, scientific, and professional cinematography.
Commonly found in consumer-grade cameras and smartphones.
