[QUOTE="Shewashere, post: 59665, member: 9130"] Well, I purchased mine new in September 2011 and it was fine for a couple of months, then erratic focusing started happening. I thought maybe it was me and wasted hours and hours calibrating and testing. In the end, I sent it to Nikon and they finally ended up replacing the mirror box and some other parts. I think the problem may be even more widespread, but frankly, not everyone shoots at a shallow enough depth of field to notice a focus problem like mine. In my test shots (from a tripod), it grabbed focus properly a couple times, back focused for a handful of shots, front focused for 1 or 2, and simply did not achieve focus in a couple shots (and it was set to focus release). I would say the range of missed focus encompassed about 7-8 inches front to back... Unless you are shooting with a faster lens, lots of folks might not notice don't you think? It's really too bad, I liked the camera a lot when it was working. [/QUOTE]
