Aging GONG second generation cameras (Silicon Mountain Design(TM) cameras) were planned to be replaced after their long service of more than a decade. This prompted a market-wide search for a potential replacement detector to meet the GONG science requirements. This report provides some history of the search process, a comparison between CMOS and CCD type sensors and then a quantitative evaluation of potential candidates to arrive at final selection. Further, a feasibility study of the selected sensor for adaptation to GONG optical system was done and sensor characteristics were independently verified in the laboratory. This technical report gives description of these studies and tests.
