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.
