The ultimate problem for Nikon and Pentax is that they don't make their own sensors, unlike Canon. This is a real disadvantage if the company supplying sensors becomes a competitor. If you're a minor player (Pentax) you're just a source of extra revenue, but Nikon could experience supply interruptions that hurt its marketability. I wonder how many companies make sensors, and how much flexibility is out there?
