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?
