- andrewblossom 10y agoIf I recall correctly, they use a mix of Sony and in-house designed sensors.
- marcuskaz 10y agoThe majority of the sensors are from Sony, with some from Toshiba and Nikon themselves. http://nikonrumors.com/2015/12/16/list-of-all-nikon-dslr-cameras-and-their-sensor-manufacturerdesigner.aspx/ http://nikonrumors.com/2015/12/16/list-of-all-nikon-dslr-cam...
- slantyyz 10y agoDepends on the camera, but for the 1" sensors in the DL mentioned in the article, they have been using Sony chips since the Nikon 1 J5. Before that, the 1" sensors used by Nikon were made by Aptina.
