[HUG] Re: SV: Re: SV: Re: OT: NIKON D3

From the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Friday morning edition:
Nikon will out source production of LBCAST wafers, but will handle the final production stages of items like microlenses and filters itself.
Nikon has a high share of the global digital SLR market, but ranked fifth in the overall digital camera market in 2002. Until now, it has relied on other companies, such as Sony Corp. (6758), to supply image sensors. But as digital cameras become the global norm for both general consumers and professionals, the firm determined that developing in-house technology was important for such higher-end products such as SLRs. The company will continue to use sensors produced by other manufacturers for its consumer-grade compact digital cameras.

QG.
Nikon does not 'produce' their own sensors. They never did. Canon does only produce their CMOS's, but only a few of the ones in their consumer digitals too, - some of these consumer digitals are not produced at 'Canon-factories' as such either.
