[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 77598, member: 8344"] Generally, when I read these types of posts on OPEN FORUMS, I get very snarky. My reason for getting snarky is that generally, these types of posts are made by schills or trolls in those forums looking for any excuse to bring down an excellent product. I know that is not the case here, so let me go into an explanation. It is very likely, Nikon has stopped shipping cameras with the Left Focus issue. There could be any one of a number of circumstances to why this happened. a) he got a camera like this and never noticed. Most likely, this is the main reason. Or, he lived with it until he decided to return it. b) this was older stock that got sold and he was unfortunate enough to get one with the issue. c) one snuck by QC. It happens. They are making and selling these like hot cakes at a hot cake convention. Regardless, of what the circumstances are, this is a really, really small, moot issue. The left focus issue is ONE FOCUS POINT of 51 on the very top left corner that doesn't focus properly. The rest of the camera is 100%. This left focus point didn't get calibrated properly. You would never notice it until you use that one point. Nikon fixes these issues almost as fast as you send the camera in. You could be a couple of days to a week without it at most. It is no big deal! If this is a big DEAL, go buy a Canon. See if you like one of their cameras better than the current reigning king of photography! See my folder I just posted on how sharp the D800 is when you get a minute, then go buy and UNOPENED BOX, brand new, D800. Mine came working 100% and it is the best piece of photographic equipment I have ever owned in 35 years. This left focus thing is no longer an issue, Nikon acknowledged it, I spoke to them, it is simply a calibration issue and it should be resolved without fuss. There were indeed issues when the camera first came out, that is history and just bad luck if you get one like this today. Chances are... you won't. [/QUOTE]
