I just thought of a reason why Canon *might* go to an outside supplier: Parts availability. If they can't produce enough sensors themselves they'll certainly go to outside suppliers rather than give up market share by cutting production. Market share is Canon's overriding goal: they want to dominate digital photography.
Hurt our enemies at all cost. Are we talking MS? :-)
