D4 is apparently supposed to AF quite nicely even with f/8 nominal aperture lens combos.
I think the Canon \"f/8 birders\" will have a bird now.
If only Nikon had a 800mm that would be my dream combo.
I think it is quite likely that within a couple of years Nikon will come up with an 800mm f/5.6 VR lens of their own.
At that point in time many Canon wildlife photographers will be faced with a real temptation to switch to Nikon, particularly so if their equivalent camera/lens offerings are cheaper and their pro grade cameras are better performing.
I have no loyalties to any brand whatsoever, and I have enjoyed seeing the aggressive and effective stance Nikon have taken in the past few years.
I also feel Canon needs to feel the heat of some competitive force bearing on them. I sure hope 1DX performance will give to many of us a solid good reason to stay with the Canon system.
