Really? Huh, always thought they made their sensors in-house.
Looked it up and apparently they did at some point, but seemingly only in their professional cameras (D2h, D3, D4). But Sony isn't their only supplier when it comes to sensors apparently.
I honestly don't think I would spot the issue he was talking about without comparing photos side-to-side; I'd probably be perfectly happy with a Sony alpha or something, but somehow I'm skewing more towards getting a Canon now.
There's A LOT more things to weigh and compare than simply a brand. Canon, Sony, or Nikon, all their latest flagships will make anyone happy. It all comes down to what you want and what you need out of it. I don't need video features or fast action sports, others do. Personally, I'd use any of those 3, but if all you care about is top of the class, then get a Canon. It will be the priciest option, there's a reason most professional use it.
