[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 67200, member: 8344"] [b]Re: Thom Hogan changes D800 "Recommended" opinion to "Not Recommended"[/b] [SIZE=2]Nikon Rumours has a post made by someone with a letter from Nikon QC stating that the focus issue is resolved. The Nikon guys name is Aleksander Nowak, Nikon Europe Support. Alek claims that a "small percentage" of cameras had AF calibration problems and Nikon would gladly "readjust" the problem "WITHIN" manufacturer's warranty specifications.
