From Nikon's PR it looks like it uses external 14b ADC, a part of its "EXPEED" image processing system: "The D300 EXPEED system features 14-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion with 16-bit image processing...".<BR/><BR/>Sony proudly announces that it uses on-chip column-parallel ADCs.<BR/><BR/>To me this clearly says the two sensors are different.<BR/><BR/>What can be is that Sony made a customized sensor version for Nikon with no on-chip ADCs. Then Nikon can connect the same sensor with its own ADC via analog interface. As a matter of fact, many DSLR sensors do not have integrated ADC and rely on external chips instead.Vladimir Koifmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800020176563544699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-37967555803755546272007-08-26T09:06:00.000+03:002007-08-26T09:06:00.000+03:00There are several rumors over the NET about NIKON...There are several rumors over the NET about NIKON D300 sensor.
