IMHO it's just a business decision, Toshiba is a competent manufacturer and most likely offered a sensor similar to Sony's for a lower price. I said similar to, not better than or same as...!

Anyway, I believe Sony has their hands full in supplying a multitude of sensor models to all its customers. I also hope Sony starts thinking of keeping at least some of their best for themselves first, as already said.

This is what I am calling twisted logic. Nikon is an important customer to Sony semiconductor, more than Sony alpha division. Can yo imagine if  the sensor used in RX1 and A99 was not used i Nikon D600? How much more expensive would an a99 be? The way you guys here look at these things is totally different from the way Sony sees it.
