[QUOTE="AC016, post: 105444, member: 9619"] Sorry, but i will politely disagree with you there. As far as i know, there is no other pro DSLR (Nikon, Canon, Sony, Panasonic, etc.) that has had the issue that the D800 has. If there has been, please tell me. To say that you except the fact that you have to jump through hoops to get the camera "finely" tuned because you are an "astute" photographer, is a bit of an excuse if you ask me. I do agree that it is a high-end camera and that it would take more learning to know how to use it. However, just as all the cameras i have owned, it came with a manual that explains how to set it up and use it. If following the manual does not enable you to get the camera to focus properly, then i would imagine there is an issue with the camera and there is. Therefore, tell me how so very different the D800 is in regards to taking focused pictures than any other DSLR in the world?? I would imagine it is just like any other Nikon camera where you half press the shutter button, focus, then press all the way to take the picture. No? Does the D800 mirror box, shutter and sensor work in such a spectaculary different way than other Nikons? NO. My point was, albeit being a high-end camera that has far more bells and whistles than my D5100, no one should have to resort to doing focus tests in order to fix the camera. It's unacceptable, wastes time, wastes money and should just not happen. It is Nikons responsibility to fix a problem that is theirs. Do you think that Japan Airlines is fixing their 787 problems all by themselves? Hell No! Boeing is kowtowing to them all the way! It's called being responsible for the product you make and not leaving it to the customer to fix, no matter how "astute" they are. [/QUOTE]
