nplus is correct...the D200 sensor is made by Sony.  So, it is very likely that this same ccd is the one found in the new Sony DSLR.  And, I wouldn't even be surprised if it is an improved version of the one used in the D200.

The one thing that still concerns me is the anti-dust mechanism.  It appears to be a similar to that found in the Oly's....ie an ultrasonic vibration of the sensor/filter assembly.  Don't get me wrong, getting the dust off is a good idea.....however, shaking the crap (pun intended) out of your sensitive electronic components doesn't seem like a good idea.  I have heard reports (unconfirmed)of sensor re-alignment because of this...tilted sensor and change in focal plane issues. Any small change in sensor position after a shake would be disasterous.  Some manufacturers claim it is only the filter that gets the shake....if that's the case that means if anything gets between the sensor and filter you'll never get it out.

I guess time will tell and again it is the consumer that debugs for the manufacturer.

@Simon...where does the dust go?...why, in the dust bin of course!!!
