It's strongly suspected, but not outright confirmed last I checked, that they supply some canon compact cameras too.
- nakedrobot2 7y agoCanon makes their own APS-c and fullframe sensors, but they use sony sensors in their smaller cameras, including their "premium compact" g7x and similar cameras, which use the imx183 or imx383 sensors, similar to the sony rx100 series.
- nakedrobot2 7y agoIt should be noted that Sony does supply sensors to Nikon, but in Nikon's flagship cameras, the sensors are designed/specced by Nikon, and Sony build them sensors to that spec, and those sensors are not used by anyone else. It is definitely not the case that Sony is just grabbing an already-designed sensor off the shelf for Nikon. And it is pretty much agreed that the Nikon d850 has the best image quality, period. Sony isn't using that sensor in their own cameras, they are not allowed to.
- glennpratt 7y agoI'm a litte skeptical (Pentax with Sony sensor owner FWIW). Here's DPReview on D850 vs a7RIII > If anyone tells you that one camera is better than the other, for any particular activity based on image quality, you should laugh at them. In their face, if possible. https://m.dpreview.com/articles/4000816220/nikon-d850-vs-sony-a7r-iii-which-is-best https://m.dpreview.com/articles/4000816220/nikon-d850-vs-son...
