this isn't the first time I read this kind of comment, about V1 as a wildlife camera. But we should not forget that a big part of a serious wildlife photography is high ISO performance. I don't mean D3s' sort of, but something above the D300's bar. Which I strongly doubt such a small sensor will ever achieve. Not to talk about DOF for animal portrait. No way.

In my experience of wildlife, the DoF is already thin enough to be a challenge on APS-C. Look at my zoom lenses. No fast ones. There's no need for it as the DoF would be unnecessarily challenging. In the majority of my wildlife cases, a shallow DoF is not desired. Like for like it would be comparable to an adequately stopped down SLR system.
To me, if they produce some nice medium-long teles (say 200mm actual or longer), this would be a great system for wildlife.
