[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 105447, member: 9521"] I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about, the OP said he noticed a delay between pressing the button and shutter release which is presumably a setting in the camera. In fact, I've never heard anyone state that the D800's will not focus. All I've heard is that some small percentage of these cameras are not dialed in properly in the left focus and require an adjustment. Is that what you're talking about? As for the complexity of the modern dSLR's, this is what we pay for and this is what we expect when buying a professional level camera. If all the dSLR's had the exact same settings then everyone's images would look the same, just like a point and shoot camera. I don't want my images to look just like everyone with a D800 and I do not believe anyone else paying so much for a camera would either. If someone is finding the dSLR's to be too complex a camera then perhaps they should reconsider their choice of cameras. The bottom line is that dSLR's are not meant for the average person to use like a cell phone camera. dSLR's are meant for people who want total control of their photos and that's exactly what these professional level cameras deliver and that's exactly what we pay for.
