As the 40D is released Sony shows us that they have some damn good tricks up their sleeves.

12.47mp at 10.4FPS. shoot.

Only 12 bit. Still a fair bit behind.


people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional
Full frame and some primes.

Am I missing something, this is just a sensor right??? So they still have yet to put it in a camera... As Nikon buy there sensors from Sony, I imagine it will be coming to a Nikon camera soon. Interesting to see it's a CMOS sensor.

Looks promising, too bad they'll put it in a camera system that is inferior to Canon.

At today's rate it is $348 USD per copy - how much would a camera equipped with it cost?

Have Fun,

Sony can't even make a clean ISO 800 shot with their 10 mpx cameras - I don't expect that to improve by increasing the pixel density.

Maybe Nikon isn't going to buy this one....

Why would Nikon want to remain beholden to their competitor?

They have to buy their sensors from somebody, because they don't make them theirselves.

IIRC even Canon buys some sensors from Sony (for the P&Ss)

Have Fun,

I believe that Nikon is developing their own sensors, and may be using them in production soon. Not sure though - internet rumors. It would be to their advantage, given that every penny that they give to Sony is helping Sony and not Nikon.

Canon is building a new sensor production facility, hopefully to break the ties to Sony. Yes, some of the Canon P&S cameras use Sony sensors. Sony provides sensors for the vast majority of the P&S market.

Can't remember where but I thought I read once that Canon is considering CMOS for its P&S which could I would think position them to break the ties to Sony. Whether it does is another story.
