Also, all the statements that Nikon "designs" the sensor and then Sony manufactures them... sound rather dubious to me. I can see Nikon building side electronics and requesting some fine tuning but that would be about it.
I really don't know but it seems to me this Nikon - Sony relationship is sometimes a little overblown, often by "prediction gurus".
Can anybody point to some press release or literature about their partnership?

It would be very unusual to announce such kind of an agreement publicly. We'll never know about the degree of the relationship but Nikon has developed LBCAST sensor for D2h & D2hs in the past. Ok, LBCAST was not a ground breaking innovation but at least shows that it is possible that they can have the ressources to design a sensor.
