Sony still makes all the sensors for Nikon. Even the new D300 12MP and D3 12MP-Full-Frame although Nikon probably did a lot of design of the full frame sensor, they simply don't have the facilities to actually manufacture them. Kind of like how Nvidia designs all their GPUs but its actually another company TSMC, that actually makes them.
There's no way Nikon would subcontract to Samsung when they have a long history with Sony.
If anyone wants to contest this, please show some facts.

You're right, I had what one would call an "brain-fart" it's Pentax/Samsung, Sony/Nikon. Who does Canon turn to?
