I just gotta say now at day 3 of having a D800 it's official - This is the most amazing camera I have ever shot with. The auto-focus is beyond perfect, the color rendition is phenomenal and it fits perfectly in hand. Clearly the EXPEED 3 is a much better processor than the EXPEED 2. That said, I still love my D7000 but compared to the D800, it's going to be hard to choose the 7000 over the 800.
It's unfortunate that some cameras were released with focus issues and have been hyper aware of potential focus issues and I'm glad to say the focus on this honey is spot on plus 1. After I downloaded my images I started zooming in and I swear it was like I was using a microscope. The detail I was pulling out was mind blowing. I've yet to take an image using a tripod but I'm sure it will prove just as amazing, possibly more so. As for the left focus issue, there doesn't seem to be one with this body. I suspect that Nikon has address this problem and all the newer D800 will have the fix already added.
All in all this camera is like a dream come true. Sharp, crisp images with superb color, excellent feel, and the photos coming out of it are the best looking photos I've ever taken. Nikon hit it out of the park on this one!
