Not really sure what you are asking...the CCD will have a different 
response curve than film or the human eye. Some of them might do 
filtering to end up with something closer to film, or just something 
that looks better. The design of the CCD element probably matters as 
well.
They can't really be inferior or superior to POV, since they have quite 
different information. POV has essentially unbounded float triples with 
the "real" light intensities, cameras have fixed point values with the 
raw output of CCD elements, restricted to a certain range.
