DBounce Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 It has been reported that Samsung is now producing full frame camera sensor in "large quantities". It is unclear who they are making these sensors for, or if this sensor will make its way into a new Samsung body. eyesuncloudedphoto and Nikkor 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now, they have Only made enough samples for testing and handing out. But this is Great News. Non-niche and the consumer and prosumer sensor market doesn't have enough players of consequence. Sony is one of the only players who makes some superb sensors, and in enormous numbers. Other players make sensors which aren't as great, and much smaller numbers. I think Sony missed a HUGE opportunity by not picking up the Toshiba Sensor division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noone Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Are we sure the Nikon Z6 sensor is a Sony? It is not a normal pixel count Sony sensor. The Z7 seems to be Sony but wouldn't that be stretching Sony's abilities to have yet another Sensor line? 2 hours ago, Nikkor said: Leica,Sony,Nikon,Canon,Panasonic,Samsung... who is next?

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted September 7, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 7, 2018 Samsung's LSI business is the best in the world and if they made a "delivery to Japan" for a customer such as Panasonic, it would wipe the floor with the competition.

No the Z6 and Z7 sensors are not Sony designs or specs. They are Nikon sensors mass-producted on the latest Sony chip fabrication technology. Sony did not spec or design the circuits.

Designing the sensors is the easy part, manufacturing them is the VERY difficult part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have shares in any of these companies so don't really care who is responsible but I do think if they come from a Sony factory, I will call them Sony sensors others can call them what they like. The D850 sensors had all this said about them but they do have a Sony part number and I would expect the same for the Z7. Certainly has a large amount of Nikon DNA in it as well as Sony. I was just thinking (probably wrongly) that if the Z6 sensor is quite different to most Sony sensors (sensors from a Sony factory), that MIGHT be from a different maker altogether?
