Sony Developed an new 16.15MP(ICX682SQW) and 10.17MP(ICX688SQG) CCD Image Sensor for Consumer Digital Still Cameras, The 16.15M Sensor Support High-Definition Television (Equivalent to 720/30p) Imaging and Continuous Capturing High-Sensitivity Still Images.
Old Sony CMOS vs. Sony New CCD (16.15MP CCD vs 16.2MP CMOS)
The new 16.15MP CCD will capture 5fps at 4-Megapixels but current Sony CMOS Sensor of same size captures 10fps at 16.2Megapxel resolution.
The New 16.15MP CCD capture 720/30p Video but current Sony CMOS Sensor of same size captures 1920X1080 at 60fps.
