Hi all,
Just registered and all that, so first post!
I just bought a D3300, and I'm having trouble focusing through the viewfinder, as the view doesn't get as crisp or clear as it should (it always seems to be a little out of focus). I've tried adjusting the diopter adjustment which just makes the view blurry (the meter numbers are clear btw). In fact the auto focus never really looks that crisp though the view finder when it locks in when using AF (the actual images are good and the view through live view is fine). I've also compared the viewfinders from my old D80 and D3000 (with various lenses), and I have no trouble focusing on objects.
I'm probably just going to return it and try another D3300 body, but figured I'd run it past you all in case I missed something. I also did a brief search to see if anyone else has experienced this, and usually a simple diopter adjustment has solved the issue, which as I mentioned didn't resolve the issue.
thanks
