I wasn't aware of that. That feature is used in the Hasselblad H2/3 series (maybe software fixable in H1) where the mirror slap is certainly an issue handheld and the few milliseconds delay gives a remarkable improvement there. My V is digitally limited in quality handheld for that reason below 1/125th is iffy so 1/15th Leica is a dream.

From the OP:
"Has the Nikon got it down so you can shoot wedding and not need any flash system? "

That depends on why you are using flash surely. I presume you mean low light church interiors eg but out in the full sun you may still value some fill. Even Jeff Ascough uses flash, on ocassion ( no pun), but you need sharp eyes to study the shadows to see it as the look is "natural".
