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:

ModelYearSensorSensor Manufacturer

Nikon Z6II2020Full-frame BSI CMOS 24.5MPSony
Nikon Z7II2020Full-frame BSI CMOS 45.7MPSony
Nikon Z92021Full-frame stacked CMOS 45.7MPSony (IMX609AQJ)
Nikon Zfc2021APS-C BSI CMOS 20.9MPSony (source)
Nikon Z302022APS-C BSI CMOS 20.9MPSony (source)
Nikon Z82023Full-frame stacked CMOS 45.7MPSony (based on Z9 architecture)
Nikon Zf2023Full-frame BSI CMOS 24.5MPSony
Nikon Z502024APS-C CMOS 20.9MPTower Semiconductor (aka TowerJazz)
Nikon Z50II2024APS-C CMOS 20.9MPTower Semiconductor
Nikon Z6III2024Full-frame partially stacked CMOS 24.5MPTower Semiconductor (designed in-house by Nikon)
Nikon Z5II2025Full-frame BSI CMOS 24.5MPSony
Nikon ZR2025Full-frame partially stacked CMOS 24.5MPTower 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).
