From what I’ve read, Sony keeps its best camera sensors to itself before it offers them out to others that wish to use them, such as Nikon and Fujifilm. No doubt this extends to others wishing to buy a batch of them.

The 36MP sensor previously seen in the Nikon D810 is in the hands of ZWO/QHY now, so it seems it’s just a matter of time (and money).

Of course, all of Sony’s larger sensors are OSC...

The 178/183 with tiny 2.4 micron pixels and BSI reportedly have QE ~83%, albeit with a gargantuan read noise (<2e) by comparison.
