Sony seems to be committed to CMOS chips, but they do have 3-chip (CMOS) HDV cameras, which seem to work pretty well. And the AVCHD format of doesn't seem to be implemented well in these early cameras, compared to HDV. AVCHD has lots of compression artifact when anything moves fast in front of the lens, and also seems to intensify any image noise. This may be due the current AVCHD cameras using only 15Mbps of the possible 24Mbps maximum AVCHD bitrate. From everything I've read, I'd go with an HDV camera over any current AVCHD camera, regardless of sensor chip and manufacturer (Sony's HDV cameras produce better images than their AVCHD cameras).
