Nikon is still pretty much at the mercy of Sony when it comes to the CCD. I would like to see in-body stabilisation in their range.

You won't because Nikon puts it in their lenses and that's a functional advantage.

This camera won't be using CCD. Furthermore, Nikon co-develops these sensors and they are not "at the mercy" of Sony at this point. Once upon a time they were but times have changed.

So much for Nikon being at the mercy of Sony, eh tekdroid?

hah. Nikon started up their own fab to manufacture the D3 sensor? Pleasse.

Nikon source nearly all tbeir sensors from Sony, Craig. Whether "nikon designed" or not.

There is no proof anywhere their new D3 or D300 sensors are made by Nikon. This coming from a Nikon D50 owner with no bias whatsoever, and who still thinks Nikon and Canon are behind the times on several fronts, notable in-body stabisation for the masses - not the well-to-do who can afford stupendous amounts on stabilised lenses - with their own weaknesses over in-body stabilisation as well as strengths of course.
