Contrary to CMOS and LBCAST sensors used in D2 series, sensor used in D200 ic CCD - this means that it could be only developed by the company which had experience in this much more complicated than CMOS variations technology. So it wasn't for sure Nikon. At worst they could only sign up agreement with Sony to not to sell these sensors to anyone else for a period of one year or so. That would be good as this sensor seems to have very good noise characteristics - I believe even better than Sony's 6 MP CCD used in *istD - maybe Rob could confirm that as I sent him a few samples from D200 at high isos.
