Rejoice Nikon D700, Nikon Df, Nikon D2h, Nikon D3 / D3s and Nikon D4 / D4s
Ethan:
I will never sell my D3s and D4s as not Sony sensors soiled.
The D700 and Df owners should rejoice as well.
No wonder these cameras are the best of what Nikon produced.

Fons Baerken:
Funny but it doesnt mention the Z6, probably S. as well, like the D600/610 ;)
Matthew Currie:
Interesting that the two I've owned so far, a D3200 and a D7100, are also not on the Sony list. I always thought the D3200, despite being pretty noisy on high ISO, punched well above its weight, and so far at least I figure to keep the D7100 flying until it breaks.
Øivind Tøien:
They list D5 as using a Sony sensor, however according to TechInsight it is manufactured by Toshiba:

Of course the Toshiba plant is now owned by Sony, so it is not completely incorrect.
Hugh_3170:
Do the Sony sensors in the Nikon cameras actually have the same part numbers as do their Sony counterparts?
My understanding has been that Sony fabricate sensors and other chips to their customers specifications and designs - just as Aptina did for the D700 and D3 sensors and as did Toshiba prior to their takeover by Sony.
