Who produces the sensors for Nikon’s mirrorless cameras?



Here is an updated list of Nikon cameras and their sensor manufacturers (the list for DSLR cameras can be found here) – it appears that in 2024, Nikon started predominantly using Tower Semiconductor sensors:

Model Year Sensor Sensor Manufacturer
Nikon Z5 2020 Full-frame CMOS 24.3MP Sony
Nikon Z6II 2020 Full-frame BSI CMOS 24.5MP Sony
Nikon Z7II 2020 Full-frame BSI CMOS 45.7MP Sony
Nikon Z9 2021 Full-frame stacked CMOS 45.7MP Sony (IMX609AQJ)
Nikon Zfc 2021 APS-C BSI CMOS 20.9MP Sony (source)
Nikon Z30 2022 APS-C BSI CMOS 20.9MP Sony (source)
Nikon Z8 2023 Full-frame stacked CMOS 45.7MP Sony (based on Z9 architecture)
Nikon Zf 2023 Full-frame BSI CMOS 24.5MP Sony
Nikon Z50 2024 APS-C CMOS 20.9MP Tower Semiconductor (aka TowerJazz)
Nikon Z50II 2024 APS-C CMOS 20.9MP Tower Semiconductor
Nikon Z6III 2024 Full-frame partially stacked CMOS 24.5MP Tower Semiconductor (designed in-house by Nikon)
Nikon Z5II 2025 Full-frame BSI CMOS 24.5MP Sony
Nikon ZR 2025 Full-frame partially stacked CMOS 24.5MP Tower Semiconductor (based on Z6III architecture)

Please note that the above information is not official, and some sensor manufacturers may be incorrect (specifically for the APS-C Zfc, Z30, and Z50II models).
