Super
HAD CCD is another sensor developed by Sony using leading-edge imaging
technology. This advanced sensor greatly reduces the invalid area
between micro-lenses on each pixel, resulting in both high resolution
and high sensitivity.
SONY
CCD cameras sold in the market nowadays are almost all using Super HAD
technology. Super HAD provides 2 times of better sensitivity and 6 db
better smear rejection ratio than the formal traditional type of CCD.
Two micro lenses on top of each photo diode are able to collect more
photon from incoming light than the old CCD made by SONY and any other
maker.
Panasonic believes that its that its new 37 series is as good as SONY's Super HAD, and its 39 series is also as good as SONY EX-View on visible light zone.
Alpha B and K series cameras now are using mainly Panasonic CCD for the best color rendering and good dynamic range.

Compared
to Super HAD, Sony Ex-view CCD Do have 4 times of better sensitivity on
near infrared zone ( 800~ 900 nm). However, if the users use it
properly, it will be excellent for night vision. If not properly, it
will became a draw back because the infrared will cause color distortion
and blurred image due to basic physics that infrared focuses on deeper
location and cause hologram image especially if the certain lenses are
used.
