Ground-based wide-field optical astrometry is in a state of technological turmoil. The photographic plate appears to be an endangered species, and the best alternative, the charge coupled device (CCD), is not ready to replace it This discussion presents various issues related to this inevitable transition from plates to CCDs, and suggests areas where research is needed before the appropriate CCD detectors can be designed.
