It’s a D3X’s sensor rumor on NR
Nikon D3x sensor – made by Sony, designed by Nikon
based on cnet
Prior to the official launch there was quite a bit of speculation as to how similar the sensor in the D3X is to that in the Sony Alpha DSLR-A900. At the launch, Nikon officials were at pains to point out that although the D3X’s sensor is manufactured in a Sony plant, it’s still very much “a Nikon designed sensor”.
So if the sensor similar with Sony A900, the image quality probably similar also, if that so, why don’t you buy Sony Alpha A900 for 3K instead Nikon D3X ?

On the compact camera side, the Sigma DP2 is the latest camera from the manufacturer to use the sensor from a DSLR (in this case, the SD14/SD15′s 14.1 megapixel Foveon X3) in a fixed-lens compact.These new model’s specifications are largely identical to the DP1′s but it comes with a 41mm lens. Sigma offers improved processing speed, operation and performance.
The DP2 is equipped with a pop up (manual) built-in flash. It is possible to use Normal Flash, Red-Eye Reduction Flash and Slow Synchro Mode. It also features flash exposure compensation in 1/3 stops increments. Manual Focus is available for use when autofocus or focus lock is not effective. We can say full spec DSLR packed into the body of a compact camera.
