Right. But you're failing to address a point here. While Nikon has that flexibility, Sony makes it's own sensors. So why would Sony need to have that flexibility? It defeats the purpose and point of making your own sensors, which leads to my next point. Sony has that option too. The difference here is, Nikon doesn't have the flexibility to make their own sensors like Sony or like Canon. If this were the case, all of their cameras would have a Nikon sensor. Nikon's "flexibility" more than likely has more to do with price than luxury.

Canon's market sensor share. If you're talking about solely on a Sony vs Canon cameras. Yes. But overall sensor market share. No. Sony has several companies that use their sensors.
