Nikon has defended its new CX format and would not worry if Canon launched a compact system camera (CSC) with a larger imaging sensor, a senior Nikon official has said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canon has yet to make clear its intentions in this market, unlike its rival Nikon which yesterday put an end to speculation about its plans by announcing the Nikon 1 compact system camera<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nikon?s V1 and J1 cameras each feature a 10.1-million-pixel CMOS imaging sensor – smaller than those used in micro four thirds cameras. <\/p>\n

The CX-format sensor measures 13.2×8.8mm.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Amateur Photographer<\/em> (AP), Ken Kusakari, product planning manager at Nikon UK, today defended the sensor?s physical dimensions.<\/p>\n

Asked if Nikon would be concerned if Canon launched a CSC with a larger, APS-C-size sensor, for example, Kusakari said: ?We do not fear it.?<\/p>\n

Nikon claims its new system offers the ?perfect balance between system size, speed, light sensitivity, resolution and depth-of-field?.<\/p>\n

Yoshizo Mori, general manager of development operations at Nikon Japan, who was in charge of the sensor?s development, said that faster image processing would not have been possible in a larger sized sensor, meaning that functions such Smart Photo Selector could not have been included.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Canon?s head of consumer imaging in Europe, Rainer Fuehres, told AP that Canon does need to introduce a CSC<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Fuehres explained that the company does not have a problem selling its existing compact and DSLR products.<\/p>\n

But he did not rule out the possibility of a CSC, fueling speculation that Canon may be poised to enter this growing market.<\/p>\n

Nikon UK product manager Simon Iddon today confirmed that Nikon plans to continue investing in DX and FX format DSLR sensors.<\/p>\n
