For Sensor Detectives. GH3 Sensor appears Panasonic's

The formulae in use in this forum is that a product of the factory that builds the product.

This is a great idea. Forget who owns the design, who made the design. Theses people are all irrelevant. Of course, Apple, who actually does not own factories actually have no products. Their products are really Foxxcon products (iPhone, iPod, iPad etc) or the Asus subsidiary products (Laptops, servers etc).

So it is irrelevant that Panasonic design engineers produced the design of the sensor, they obviously gave up all rights to the product by sending it a Sony owned wafer fab.

In fact Sony imaging owns no sensor designs either, since the wafer fab that makes them is a different division of Sony!

The clear fact is that anyone who outsources the manufacturing of products no longer has any products as they become products of the outsource manufacturer
