Canon does (develops) their own sensors ; a company that size can. They may even do their own fab. Nikon doesn't buy off the shelf parts. Kodak will probably come out with a new DCS camera. I would be amazed if Pentax came out with anything more sophisticated than a DZLR.
From: "Rob Brigham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ....I did wonder if this was the sensor for the 1Ds, but that is apparently a CMOS, so this must be going elsewhere... (pleeeeaaaase Pentax???)
