1)"The sensor war between Sony and Canon continues, on the day Canon
announce
their new 10 megapixel CMOS powered EOS 40D Sony Corporation reveal its latest CMOS sensor, the twelve-point-five megapixel APS-C size IMX021. Sony is positioning this new chip with new technologies which are designed to deliver low noise and yet maintain high continuous shooting rates (10.39 frames per second with 12-bit output to be precise). Who knows where we will see this sensor next but a fairly safe bet must be the next Sony Digital SLR. " More at _http://www.dpreview.com/news/0708/07082012sony12mpcmos.asp_ (http://www.dpreview.com/news/0708/07082012sony12mpcmos.asp) 2)"Some entirely too ingenious hackers have found a reference to the
rumored D3X deep within the bowels of Nikon's D3 firmware. The reference
includes a list of resolutions available to the upcoming shooter, and it's
apparently set to max out at a potentially Higgs
Boson-inducing 24.4 megapixels. Word has it that this sensor is
likely a variant of the megapixel monster behind Sony's
upcoming A900, but since this is all being extrapolated from a few numbers
hidden in some firmware, we're going to try not to get too ahead of ourselves at
this point."

have nothing to contribute, am waiting for answers to your questions eagerly. Just wondering if the sensors on the D300 and D3 Nikons are made by Sony. If so we might expect a heavy hitting SLR from Sony soon. Need a new ride? Check out the largest site for U.S. used car listings at AOL Autos. |
