Phase detection on image chip might work so well that traditional DSLR design with secondary mirror and separate AF module is obsolete now and D5 will come completelly without any mirrors and it will be just large EVF camera. It can happen.

I'm afraid that this won't happen for a very long time. The reason - latency! You press the shutter when you see Beckham making the shoot in EVF, but in real life ball was inside the net already!
