CMOS vs. CCD technologies

CMOS is becoming increasingly popular, but CCD is far from obsolete. When does which image sensor technology make sense and where do both play out their advantages? So far, CCD sensors still impress with higher image quality and lower noise, whereas CMOS sensors score in terms of energy consumption and smear and blooming effects. With more choice of global shutter sensors, CMOS continues to catch up.
