With that said, the development of image sensor technology is essential for Nikon, and the company will continue to research and develop sensors based on market demands. The Nikon D90 is out; the Nikon D7000 is in -- this new mid-class dSLR from Nikon can do 1080p videos with a 16.2 megapixel CMOS sensor. Nikon's new dSLR, the Nikon D800, packs a huge sensor 36.3 megapixel CMOS sensor and FX format making it the biggest one they've made so far.
