Cool video. I wonder how long this technology will survive in high-end cameras now that the micro 4/3 mirrorless design is here. Still it will be a long time before I give up my viewfinder and pentaprism. Live view is good, but not my first choice for most applications.

Considering that the D3 shutter is rated to 300,000 actuations, I don't think it's going to go away soon. But less moving parts is good with me if they can perfect the mirrorless system.

Forget it, I'm going back to the Twin Lens Reflex systems. : ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin-lens_reflex_camera
