Who do you think makes the sensor used in many of Nikon's cameras? I'll give you one guess.

Expect a Nikon camera with this sensor in the not too distant future.

Ah, competition is very good. For far too long Canon has had the high-end space to itself. Competition for Canon from Nikon is wonderful news for us customers.

Bring it on...]]>Jan 30th 2008 4:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/sonys-24-81-megapixel-cmos-sensor-going-pro-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/sonys-24-81-megapixel-cmos-sensor-going-pro-this-year/Jan 30th 2008 4:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/sonys-24-81-megapixel-cmos-sensor-going-pro-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/sonys-24-81-megapixel-cmos-sensor-going-pro-this-year/Jan 30th 2008 4:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/sonys-24-81-megapixel-cmos-sensor-going-pro-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/sonys-24-81-megapixel-cmos-sensor-going-pro-this-year/Jan 30th 2008 5:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/sonys-24-81-megapixel-cmos-sensor-going-pro-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/sonys-24-81-megapixel-cmos-sensor-going-pro-this-year/Jan 30th 2008 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/sonys-24-81-megapixel-cmos-sensor-going-pro-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/sonys-24-81-megapixel-cmos-sensor-going-pro-this-year/
To be honest I hate Sony as a company but some of there hardware never ceases to impress... This is one of those times.

If sony has a quality issue affecting yield which "customer" would suffer first, the internal one i.e. sony, or the external one i.e. nikon?

it's interesting in some respects. sony is clearly trying to break into the dSLR market, up until now dominated by canon and nikon. so clearly sony is helping it's competition by selling it chips.

kind of makes canon's decision to develop its own sensor tech look a very wise move.

wonder how long it will be before we see sony cameras at big sporting events....]]>Jan 31st 2008 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/sonys-24-81-megapixel-cmos-sensor-going-pro-this-year/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/30/sonys-24-81-megapixel-cmos-sensor-going-pro-this-year/

Whats interesting is Sony's cameras are Minolta's. So they make the sensors but they don't make the body and the lenses. I guess Nikon has a better deal with Fuji.]]>Feb 1st 2008 3:35AM
