Which Sony camera is this sensor in, anyway? I'm glad you're here to help me keep track of this stuff. I'm usually pretty good with Nikon, Canon and Olympus. I'm trying with Sony but it's hard to stay on top of it all
Same chip, but Nikon uses their own filters and processing.

Same sensor in the A55 and A580.
