Nikon’s recent sensor patent published a few days ago, US20240388815A1, represents an exciting shift for the company. Traditionally reliant on Sony-made sensors for its flagship cameras, such as the Z9 (source), Nikon appears to be forging its own path. The new patent introduces a novel dual-voltage control system that promises enhanced performance, signaling Nikon’s ambition to enter the professional cinema camera market. This development, coupled with Nikon’s acquisition of RED and its strategic push toward cinema innovations, marks a critical turning point for the brand.
