Who knows? But before Pentax Nikon was using Nucore technologies in their products (D200 and D80 AFAIK), but it wasn't the newest technology that Pentax used in K10D, so maybe NuCore CEO is brother of Pentax CEO? ;-) > BTW, there is a speculation that the sensor for K10D may not be of > Sony's. > There are a few minute differences other than the dimensions (which > are also > different). People are speculating whose. Yes, there are subtle differencies. Just like sensor in D70 which has very similar parameters to the one used in *istD and D100, yet it is slightly different in total pixel count. My friend who has close relationship with Nikon Poland told me it was made by Sanyo under Sony license with some modifications required by Nikon... So maybe it is Sony's sensor licensed to Samsung? After all Samsung has sold some advanced LCD technology to Sony in agreement that they signed a few years ago. In turn Samsung could took some technical basics of building large sensor. But it's just my pure speculation ;-) > I have no idea. I always thought it was a version of those used > for D200. D200 has 5 fps, 4-channel readout sensor ICX483 as opposed to 2- channel CX493 used in D80 and Alpha 100 and probably in K10D. See PDF from the link that Rob posted.
