assembly, simplified design, probably less warranty returns,
almost certainly less oily/whatever sensors (a la D7000, D600)
and profit against what, losing a tiny,
perhaps imperceptible amount of light (which BTW does not appear
to have hurt Sony much)?  Oil has nothing to do with it, as long
as there are moving parts. Therefore, unless they can find a way
to take full resolution stills without a mechanical shutter and
not have serious problems, the oil issue will persist (at least
for Nikon, because it seems to happen with their shutters).  It
doesn't appear to have hurt Sony much (although they are quite
behind at high ISOs partly because of it), but I don't think it
helped them much either. Those on-sensor points don't do
anything with most lenses, and have severe limitations with the
ones it does work with (most notably, can't
