Who makes the sensor inside your Nikon camera? (Hint: it isn't just Sony!)

Ever wondered who makes the image sensor inside your camera?

If you shoot with Canon or Sony it's easy, as those are the only two brands that fabricate their own sensors. For everyone else, though – whether it's Nikon, Fujifilm, OM System or any other company – sensor production is handled by external foundries.
