read somewhere its using the A55 sensor.. is it true?.. and noise control is on par with the D700... :bigeyes:
but the size of the sensors on D7000 and A55 are different, correct? shouldn't be same in this way..

Some say it's a heavily modded Sony sensor, some say it's designed by Nikon, manufactured by Sony semiconductor.
But really who cares? If it works good, it's good. Doesn't matter who made it.
this is true...but deep in my heart, I still hope Nikon to be self-sufficient and produce their own sensors. They have to go beyond their SLR days when they were leader in the mechanical aspects, concentrated mainly on building enduring bodies as film was mostly by others. ;p
I think there are pros and cons to being self-sufficient... A whole world of difference from the SLR days. SLR has lesser electronics... these days, I don't think you can be completely self-sufficient as there are lesser mechanical parts... You might end up jacking the price up to horrendous levels! I trust there are a lot more R&D going on modern DSLRs as compared to SLRs... Nikon being a strictly imaging industry, that limits the R&D budget on a greater scale as compared to Sony - which doesn't just concentrate on producing DSLRs and PnS...
Maybe it will take them time to learn the ropes to doing their own sensors (eventually of course).
Just be glad that Nikon still delivers top notch DSLRs that we can be really proud of. :sweat:
wonder how much will the d7000 costs ? arghhh

same as a55 and a580 the sensor d90 sensor was also a sony one nothing new
