Nikon cameras and sensors designed by Nikon made by Sony?
Why is everyone comparing Nikon cameras to Sony cameras?
Don't they know Nikon is designing their sensor it's only being made by Sony?
Why don't they compare Hasselblad and Leica cameras to Kodak since Kodak is making sensors for them?
Edwin then why is the Pixel Density different Nikon D3X 2.8 MP/cm² and Sony A900 2.9 MP/cm²
Some people think Nikon supplies the designs, others think they only supply the specs, and some think that Sony and Nikon share intellectual property for the design and use the same sensors in their cameras. There are even those who concede that Nikon's sensors look suspiciously like Sony's but contend that the high quality of these Sony sensors is only achievable because Sony uses Nikon steppers in the manufacturing process! This thread contains all of these conspiracy theories: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1021&thread=30180275&page=1
Even the venerable Thom Hogan doesn't know exactly what's going on - specifically about the D3X / A900: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1021&message=30260555&q=sony+sensor+hogan&qf=m
Of course, there is more to image quality than tiny differences in the sensor, and there is more to a camera than tiny differences in image quality.
All I know is that in a year or two I'll want to replace my Nikon D200, and with all of the collaborations and rivalries my (Nikon) options keep getting better. My only worry is if I should trade in my 17-55 for a 24-70 beforehand.
