What do you guys expect for the D7200 supposed sensor - 24 MP Sony sensor or 24 MP Toshiba?

Am I correct that the Toshiba sensor is thought to be inferior to the Sony sensors? I've read that some people complain about banding.

I shoot Canon today, but am intrigued with Nikon. The D7200 appears like it'll be a very strong all-around camera if Nikon addresses the buffer issue and liveview aperture changes.

Thank you
Dave

^^^^ Your guess is as good as anyone's ... Once the camera is announced all your questions will be answered. I sure hope Nikon is not so stupid and to not follow up with a D7200 the same way they did not follow up with a D400.

Andre,

What is your opinion regarding about Toshiba vs Sony sensors?

I'm not Andre but I thought this might be of interest. Here's a review of the new D5500 which uses a newly revised Sony 24mp sensor.

http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/nikon_d5500_review/

There are both JPEG and raw images for download. To my untrained eye, it looks like the new sensor is about a stop better than the Toshiba in the D7100. I'd bet it'll be used in the new D7200 with perhaps even more improvements to set it apart from the D5500. ISO 8000 is amazingly clean.

It says the same sensor for the new D5500 as the predecessor D5300. I'm not aware of the D5300 being one stop better than the D7100? That kind of talk makes me drool for the D7100 successor.

******************

Honestly I don't have an opinion as I have not studied it. I do know that Nikon is able to pull more out of the Sony sensor than Sony seems to, so it's as much about the handling of data as it is about the sensor itself.

From the limited information available, it appears that the D5300 sensor has been updated to native 25,600 ISO without the "boost". I shoot a D7000 so I've not paid much attention to any of the D5xxx cameras and can't comment on D5300 vs D7100 IQ. My interest was peaked when I downloaded some of the high ISO image samples from Photographyblog and saw how clean they were at high ISO. That includes the RAW images.

Here is a blurb from Imaging Resource;

(quote)
Although resolution of the Nikon D5500's APS-C sized, DX-format image sensor is unchanged at 24.2 megapixels, Nikon tells us that it is actually a new design, and this, it seems, has allowed the entire sensitivity range of ISO 100 to 25,600 equivalents to be made available by default. (In the earlier camera, sensitivities beyond ISO 12,800 were available only if ISO expansion was enabled, indicating that image quality might be lessened at these highest sensitivities.)
(end of quote)

Obviously all this is still speculation but D5500 images posted are cleaner than I've seen from previous Nikon APC cameras.

Nikon has a history of using the same basic sensor 2 or 3 times, just tweaking or redesigning it for slightly better performance. I wouldn't be surprised if they got a bit more out of that 24MP sensor, and it looks better to my eyes as well so far. Perhaps a good sign for the upcoming 54MP FF body. The D5XXX cameras have always been great bang for the buck IMHO, especially since they started putting the 39pt AF in it.
