In order to bring digital photography to the masses, the price had to come down; an expensive part of the system is the capture device, so by replacing the CCD with the CMOS device it enabled the price to be reduced. The digital camera converts the light it receives like millions of minute solar cells and both the CCD and CMOS end up storing an image but just using a different method to do it. Some useful tips are mentioned here if you are currently looking for a camera like this. Other than budget, your main concern should be resolution and what that means is the higher the resolution or megapixels you can afford the better the pictures will be; the higher the resolution of the camera the bigger the photos that can be printed.
And if something is wrong with the camera, then you may have to start working with amps and volts to get it working again.
