"Can we talk about the Sensor?"

Is this sensor diff from previous?
Is NIKON changing the way it does sensors? Isn't this one made by SONY? Are all of NIKON's sensors made by Sony or is this a new strategy? If it is, then this would seem like a good strategy to focus scarce development resources on things that make a Nikon a Nikon. Otherwise: isn't this same sensor in Sony's flagship camera(which must be half the price)?

Several previous Nikon DSLR's have used Sony-made sensors; it's a well-established relationship. Even when the same base sensor has been used in a Sony camera, Nikon's engineers have managed to eke better performance out of it
