Perhaps I can check with someone in Japan. Hi Mark, One of my contacts who is close to Canon confirmed that the CCD for 1D is the outsourced item. He did not say a thing about who makes it (he probably knows but is not telling. Why is it such a big deal?! :-). He also said that Canon "in principle" would be going more toward CCD for their top end DSLRs. Hmmm? Sounds like CCD is becoming cheaper, of higher performance, less power consuming and all the good stuff, perhaps? Cheers, Ken
