Was sure I mentioned this some time back? With a TC 1.4 (or on DX) it will be a big help for birders, the 300 is simply too short even with a TC, also loosing a stop is unwelcome. So 500 X 1.5 for DX takes us to 750mm equivalent at f/5.6 which isn't bad compared with an f/4 FL, which many people find too cumbersome/risky to take out in the field, even if they own said lens and where else can you use a 500mm lens?. Also the light, compact design and latest VR should ensure a nice lens. I can see birding coming more popular. It's a pleasant way to spend a day in the wild, provided the entry fee isn't like >£10,000 plus camera. Significantly less than half that price, weight and size while maintaining IQ to a good level will attract many who simply can't , or won't invest the price of a car in a single lens. Looking forward to more flesh on the bones rather than speculation about the spec and price. I think the 300 PF was simply testing the water and developing experience for Nikon. I hope they can build on it.

NOW...If they put the integral switchable 1.4x tc on THAT lens rather the expensive zoom that really doesn't NEED it (as you would only use it at the maximum focal length  ) it would be REALLY USEFUL.But reality check....it ain't going to happen.

It might Eric, you are not alone with this observation... But taking the logic further simply the longer focal length simple lens might still get the job done at more modest cost. A second camera with a shorter lens might be cheaper? That's what most photographers do at sports events.
