Well, given there's no mirror, no. 
Sorry for being pedantic, but no, shutter slap for me has been a non-issue. I rarely shoot longer lenses though where it seems to be most prevalent. I shot some with my 70-200 yesterday but there was enough light to keep speeds up around 1/500, and even if I were to shoot as speeds where I'd need a tripod, the lens has it's own foot which should act against the slap. Vibration seems to be worst with longer lenses that don't have their own tripod foot.

This thread makes me want to hug my D700 and its lovely AF. And what about the zebras in your D700's OVF?

I find it a bit hard to distinguish highlight with detail vs highlight without detail on the EVF, but to each their own.

100+ shows actual clipping. I agree that it's not a replacement for bracketing for many situations though, just maximizes dynamic range if you can't or don't need to.

Or simply go against internet wisdom and shoot 1/3 to 2/3 of a stop to the left all the time.
You still need to check the display to confirm exposure after. With an EVF, you confirm it before exposure. It's not that much of a time saver but it is more convenient than pulling the camera away from your face.

Lol yeah, that's another thing.. I'm shooting wide open (f4 with that lens). I THINK I can hook it up to a canon body, set aperture (I'd go f9 for landscape) and turn off the body and it should stay at F9 on the sony.
Or I'll just buy the metabones lol.
That sounds like a giant pain in the ass honestly. Get the damn adapter, good manual focus lenses with aperture rings, or native lenses.

Ohh that's right. I'm thinking the wrong blinkies/lines. I don't trust my lcd's. I know the d300s and d700 were too bright. The d800 is a little better but I'm still learning it. The d800 is different enough that I have to go by the histogram, even if the image onscreen looks completely wrong. That may have been from me dialing down the lcd brightness though, based off past experience with other bodies. I heard a guy that's one of the Nikon ambassadors say in a (2 year old) podcast that the histograms shown are for the jpg files that are shown on the lcd. It gets you close I guess but still shows it's different than what I'll be playing with when I get back home. Anyways, live view histogram would be useful, but I'll live without it for the other features I get in a full size body without the EVF.

Had a pretty good day out at Moraine Lake and Lake Louise today, did my first bracketed shots, we'll see how they go in post (I almost never did this with the 5D2). Really wish there was a drive option for five shots at one stop increments, but doing two separate brackets of three at one stop works more or less as well and is pretty quick. Side note, loving the Joby strap. Still wish a hand strap would work, but this thing is a well thought out piece of kit.

Nope, it's on a tripod obviously and it doesn't take too hard a poke to release the shutter so I wasn't worried about it. We'll see in post I guess lol whoops.
The remote app works well enough that I probably wouldn't use any other remote release, have you tried it?
I agree that there are a number of small firmware tweaks that could really improve functionality, we'll see if they ever do an update.

Other than having the canon lens already, any reason you're not looking at any of the e mount glass instead of buying an adapter? Isn't there a zeiss/sony equivalent to that 24-70 f4?
Most of the E mount stuff is pretty underwhelming, zooms especially don't measure up to the stuff you can get for other systems for the price Sony's asking. The 35 and 55 are very good, but are pretty pricey for what they are. I'm giving up a little AF speed using the adapter, but I manually focus everything now so I don't care.
