The 1.6 crop is largely an advantage for wildlife so why no silent shutter ?

They will almost certainly continue to have the superior sensors. I'd still prefer a 1DX for shooting near dawn and dusk when high ISOs come in to play.Certainly looks interesting. Where does this leave the 5D3 and the 1DX ?
f8 with a extender makes the 400 5.6 the all king!
For a few hundred dollars you can turn 640 into 896 or 1280 with full speed auto focus and hopeful a higher usable ISO. A tack sharp walk around 400mm 5.6 can be a Eagle nest snapper with use of a tripod.
This may be the greatest birding Camera ever!

I personally don't want them to touch the 400mm 5.6, even with better optics. The magical thing about the lens now is the cost. $1300ish new, $900 Used. An Update would bring it up in price. Right now a beginner can buy used and get some incredible handheld shots easily with it. Plus an update with IS will bring the weight up, it is perfect as it is now. It is the single reason why to go Canon for birds if all else fails. I personally don't care for Nikons button layout on their bodies but I love the pictures compared to Canon...but once that Mighty whitey Tighty 400 5.6 locks on to bird all is well in the world. Give me an SL1 body and the 400 5.6 ill still will be happy!
The lack of wifi, 4K video and touchscreen are not dealbreakers for me. I'm awaiting reviews of the new sensor (hope it'll be better at higher ISO than the MK1 or 70D) but to be honest the new AF system is almost reason to buy it even if the new sensor turns out to be on the underwhelming side.
