Does anyone know for sure which brand of image sensor Hikvision uses? I've heard some say that it's Sony Exmor, while others say it's Aptina brand sensors.
Brand of Sensor in Hikvisions?

My 2CD3332-I camera boot log mentions "MT9T002 sensor" which appears to be an Aptina part number.
But with blank info on their website: http://www.aptina.com/products/image_sensors/mt9t002/#overview

I believe it's a mixture of manufacturers, with sony suppling the larger sensors and Aptina and sony on 2cd2/3xxx based cameras, but with the 2 ptz I have they are clearly marked sony.

Does each specific model have a specific brand of sensor or can the same model number have different brands of sensors? For example, can a 2cd2032-i have a Sony sensor in one batch and an Aptina sensor in another batch? or would every 2cd2032-i always have the same exact sensor?

Component are a supply and demand issue, but all will have to meet hikvision standard or they won't be used.
