"I have been told (thanks) that Sony will indeed produce Canon’s upcoming
high resolution sensor. The source presents this as a joint venture and
patent exchange between Canon and Sony.
In other words, and according to the source, Canon and Sony will agree on a
patent exchange to produce a 53MP sensor for Canon’s upcoming high
resolution DSLRs. This sensor would keep the Exmor technology, and feature
Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF. The best of both worlds someone may say. Sony
would still sell sensors to Nikon, but without the Dual Pixel AF (it is for
sure not a problem for Sony to mass-produce slightly different lines of
sensors).
Interesting rumor. All in all such a scenario is possible, since it would be
of advantage for both companies. Canon already used a Sony sensor on the
Powershot G7 X. And there have been rumors that Canon may sport a Sony
sensor in future high-end DSLRs. Finally, Canon themselves stated in an
interview that they will “select the best sensor, whoever the manufacturer
is” (see the interview here)."
