My opinion on this, Nikon do use Sony sensors. But the sensors used in Nikon's high ISO performance bodies aren't from Sony. The sensors are designed by Nikon and used exclusively on Nikon systems only. D3/D700, and the current flagship, the D3s.

http://nikonrumors.com/2011/01/26/the-sens...-by-nikon.aspx/
i read that before, and was wondering.
why is D7000 sensor from sony, and D3100 sensor from nikon? arent they both the same?
or perhaps nikon used the D7000 sensor, modified it abit, stamped nikon on it and put it in the D3100 tongue.gif

btw, that article doesnt mention the D3x...this one does.
http://nikonrumors.com/2008/12/09/nikon-d3...on-part-2.aspx/

one would assume also the same applies to the other models, its just stamped nikon as it is designed by them anyway.


Added on August 25, 2011, 3:04 pmin other somewhat related news, sony has just announced their new flagship APS-C A77 with 24mp sensor.
so lets assume the new D400 or whatever its called will also be the same sensor tongue.gif

The A-77 is now a DSLT, the performance is amazing.... 12FPS @ full resolution, crazy machine gun... claimed the only camera can do this at the moment. Saw a demo video, the video is using the frames captured... those moving objects like horse running.... seems like all is in focus when shooting continuous @ 12FPS....  sweat.gif
Saw the promo video as well, super cool  thumbup.gif

yea, only dissapointing thing bout them is the EVF.
i've tried the A55 and didnt like the EVF one bit, tho the A77 oled EVF should hopefully be much better.

ok, lets not go OT in a nikon thread biggrin.gif

so lets assume, that since Sony already announce this...
and canon to announce 7d mk2 next month...
nikon should be announcing a D400 successor too around the same time.

Somehow I'm thinking the D300s replacement might be using the same sensor D7000 is using. But of course using the new 24MP is possible too, no one knows until more info is leaked out.
Yeah... SLT don't have mechanical limitations like most DSLR where the shutter has to flip fast enough. I remembering reading the D3s replacement able to do 30fps in liveview mode. (forgot where I saw this.. gotta look for the link).
Design is definitely by Nikon themselves, but manufacturing might not be by Sony as per the link I stated. Basically nobody knows where the D3/D700 and D3s sensor is made at the moment. Even if made by Sony, Sony don't have the right to equip them on their DSLR since its exclusive to Nikon flagships now.
EVF's advantage, can see exposure and WB immediately tongue.gif
*
EVF yea somewhat.
but if the lcd is not good quality, it usually looks under-expose, still have to rely on exposure meter...must as well not have EVF tongue.gif

Do you know what is the kit lens for A77?

16-50mm f/2.8!!! Constant aperture!!!

Time to wake up Canon and Nikon!
Did you read recent update in Nikon rumor on Nikon response to mirrorless? I don't know, I find the response "arrogant" instead of trying to make a difference.

Hopefully we will see something good after this.
*
maybe its country specific?
D700 also had 24-120 f/4 as kit lens.

A77 also is now their flagship APS-C model right? so perhaps they want to introduce the 16-50 which is also a new lens at the same time...

Body only: USD1399
Body + Kit: USD1999

The 16-50mm f/2.8 is around USD600; which is around RM2K.

thats with the kit, and everyone knows lens is cheaper if packaged with kit.
if lens alone is $799.
still have to see the features of it tho, but at its price point its definitely going to give the tamron a good run.

D700 kit lens package? Got an image of the box? Does it come just like the D7000 + 18-105? In a single box or it is bundled differently.
dunno, never seen it before...but nikon does / did offer that package.
even ken crockwell mentions it.
seems also got 2 diff kits, one with the 24-120 variable aperture, and another with the constant f/4.
maybe one is older kit tongue.gif

Frankly, I think the f/1.8G seems better and sharper, but wonder why the results is different from DXO mark hmm.

yea even recently thom hogan changed his review and said if u on fx 50mm 1.4g is still the better buy instead of the 1.8g.

ok I get it now.. So let's say we compare 50mm 1.4G(FX) on 2 bodies, DX and FX.. so on DX it will be 75mm and FX 50mm... but how about the view angle of the photos? Is it when you shoot with that lens of FX you can see more stuff(wider angle)?
*
both the objects size thru the viewfinder will be the same size, it is 50mm anyway.
but obviously with DX the crop factor comes in so u see less of the sides etc / ie. the field of view will look like 75mm on FX.

everytime i use my 17-55, i wish it had extra reach cos sometimes lazy to take that extra 2 steps or so.
then i go to 17mm and realise its more needed, cos sometimes u got no place to step back.

now if only nikon would release a 17-70 f/2.8 tongue.gif

the only entry level model nikon had with built-in motor was the D50.
why they decided to remove it from all future entry level models i guess only nikon knows, cos weight and size wise there really isnt much difference.

Imagine the amount and heft of glass the motor has to move and shift into place. Of course there will be sounds coming from that beast! LOL

not really...just that its older af-s.
200-400 f/4 is very silent...so is the 600mm f/4.

Well, get 24-70 altogether in your belt for your preparation to FX tongue.gif

and lose out on the 'free' telephoto range of DX? nah.
what would be nice tho is if the upcoming D400 has the same viewfinder design like the D2x / FX models, but with full and nice 100% view.

i think 17-55 is going to be my one and only regular zoom lens for awhile.
now waiting for nikon to release 100-300 f/4 tongue.gif

Given if stage situation, using 17-55 or 24-70 will be relatively lack of reach. I bet these two lenses aren't mean for those. If that's the case, the 70-200 VR will be much more suitable.
Isn't the D7000 already equipped with 100% viewfinder? In long run, I hope to reach FX and keep the DX as my backup laugh.gif
*
yea, but its rectangle viewfinder.
D2x even tho DX has a nice round viewfinder.
would also take those eye cup addons nicely that ppl like to put on D90 / D7000 without causing vignetting thru the viewfinder.

Yet to experience such situation... but... given that kind of situation where you'll hit 1/15 even at f/2.8, I bet you'll have problem focusing too.
Round viewfinder? blink.gif

FX has different type of viewfinder? I do not know at all laugh.gif

Googled. Yeah, D700 has a round type viewfinder. Any advantage over rectangle type?

can put nice round rubber eyecup tongue.gif

nope.. not unless you know where to look for a place for your lens to lock focus to. Here, let me give an example

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

sorry size a bit big

f/7.1, 1/30s, ISO800 (the highest I dare push on my old A100), 70mm, no flash...

I could push the f-number a bit lower, but my old sigma 24-70 wasnt that good at smaller apertures, so yeah...
*
umm, doesnt the A100 have in-built image stabilization?

maybe i add one almost similar settings using my canon s90 tongue.gif
f/4.9, 1/30s, iso800...iron maiden ftw tongue.gif
