The quoted material is from a professional blog I monitor.
Speaks for itself. The sensors for the newer FX Nikon are supposed to really good but do they have them all to themselves??
"Hmm, I had heard it the other way around, that they were getting DX from Sony and doing a bit of "tweaking" but making their own FX. Then again, I don't trust my memory which is why I asked :-). But if you look at Thom Hogans page he indicates that Nikon is moving back to making their own. The other thing I find of interest is that if you look at the D3100 and D7000 spec and compare them to the latest Sony cameras announced a few weeks ago, their are almost identical. Just makes me wonder given the collaboration prior to this."
