Strange announcement if Nikon are departing from sourcing APS-C and FF sensors from Sony. I am puzzled.With the investment announced today, Kumamoto TEC's CMOS image sensor production capacity will be further increased, and Sony will strengthen its ability to meet the expected market demand for "Exmor R" used in smartphones as well as a wide range of digital imaging products for consumer and professional use, including compact Digital Still Cameras. In addition, Sony will increase production capacity for mainly large sized "Exmor" used in Digital Single Lens Reflex cameras.
Sony increase production of Exmor and Exmor R sensors

You are very entitled too be puzzled alphaomegs, I got puzzled in approximately 2006 and I haven't really improved much since.

I am still convinced that Nikon gets its sensors from Sony. Somehow I believe that Pentax will rely on Sony too in the near future.

Perhaps they see their market share going from 10% to 20%.
