First off, let me start by saying: if you are buying this camera solely because you "want to take better photos" turn away NOW. If you are just starting in photography, and want to take awesome photos; never underestimate the awesome power of the D7100, D3100 or D610 (if you want full frame). However, if you are an advancing amateur, and you feel that you have outgrown your current camera (and have the cash), by all means purchase this camera.Be warned though, this camera DEMANDS respect and perfection in your technique. 36mp is absolute OVERKILL for simple vacation shots, family shots, ect. However, if you are serious about your photography (or can see yourself becoming serious in the future) 36mp may be extremely helpful in pulling out all the potential your photos have hidden in their RAW state.DO NOT expect to take good pictures simply by purchasing this camera. You must still have a masterful knowledge of using light, proper technique (using a steady tripod, mirror up mode, exposure delay, proper fStop for a full frame) and handling. With over 36 MILLION megapixels crammed on one sensor, the slightest error, the slightest shake of the camera - where on a 16 or 24mp camera may not have caused an issue - will be GLARINGLY obvious.I have only used this camera for a couple days, and it has really put me in my place as a photographer. I feel my photos are a little worse now because I still have not caught up to the demands of this camera.I took it out today and, honestly, got nothing but crap shots. However, I was absolutely stunned when I took these poor RAW files into Lightroom and turned them into pretty beautiful photos anyways (I still trashed them anyways). I am excited to see where I can take the photos that I have actually NAILED in the camera.So that was very reassuring.A COUPLE THINGS I WANT TO COMMENT ON:1. If you are stepping up from a lesser camera; be sure to read Nikons Technical Guide; Just google Nikon D800 and visit Nikons official webpage. It lays out how to get the optimal sharpness with this camera.2. IF YOU SHOOT BRACKETING/HDR: be forewarned that this camera ABSURDLY will not automatically shoot all bracketed images at once, in timer mode, as it does on the less pro models. TO CORRECT THIS: - Go into the custom menu and set your number of your timer exposures to 9 so it will take all the bracketed images together. Also, this camera only allows stops of 1, which seems ridiculous (can anyone explain this?)Honestly though, think before you buy this camera. Are you ready for such a demanding instrument? Do you already have some quality, full frame glass you can slap on it? Again, DO NOT underestimate the ability to pull stellar images out of almost any Nikon DSLR. You do not need this camera to make great images.The only reason I upgraded was because I used a D7100 and my Tokina 11-16 broke: I was then decided to sell my camera and return the lens, using the cash to get a D610 (since my Nikkor 16-35 is is the same equivalent wide angle focal length). Amazingly, I found an official Nikon refurbed D800 on Ebay for only 500$ more than what I would have spent on the 610, So it seemed like a no brainer.P.S. Once I begin to see the full function of the D800, I am sure my rating will go up to 5 stars. For now, I knocked a star off for reduced functionality compared to less quality models.UPDATE: 3/16/14Okay, I had to add another star due to the phenomenal image quality produced from this camera. The dynamic range on this camera is nothing short of ASTOUNDING. I shoot a lot of landscapes, and I find myself bracketing a lot to create realistic looking HDR's and blended exposures. I am stunned to find, that as long as there isn't a radically high margin in stops of light, I can capture just a single image and bring back all the dynamic range. In fact, I am finding that I am getting much better photos doing that, rather than simply creating an HDR, or possibly taking two exposures and do some light blending.Ya know, I take back what I said earlier. With proper technique and dedication, I feel this camera CAN make you a better photographer. When you feel that you have, in your hands, absolute control over your vision of what you want your image to be, it really helps to maintain interest in photography and spark more creativity!The only thing that sucks about this camera is the thought of using anything lesser!

I bought a REFURB D800 with serial number 304xxxx from a reputable authorized US dealer.Before I made the purchase I researched and found all the manufacturer problems I could potentially encounter:1) inaccurate left focus point;2) green cast on LCD screen;3) dust/oil spot on sensor;4) mis-aligned viewfinder grid;5) problem remotely triggering flashlight.I convinced myself all these problems must have been sorted out, there should be no problem. And since refurb unit came with 3 months US Nikon warranty, worst case would be sending my unit to service.After I received the camera, I did extensive test to the camera. My unit definitely do not have problem 4) and 5) I mentioned above. Honestly, I am pretty sure problem 4) is just rare outlier problem since I have only seen on complain online; also, 5) is probably a virtually non-exist problem or it's fixed by firmware update already.Nikon expert Thom Hogan said the left autofocus point problem "appears to have stopped in the US with serial numbers higher than about 3055000". Since my unit is below that number, I performed extensive autofocus test. My test included shooting test target such as Siemens, strips suggest by Thom Hogan and real life test, I concluded my unit has the problem. The problem was very minor though... To a point that I don't even want to send it to service.Next I compare the LCD screen with my old Nikon D90, at that time I notice that the LCD on my D90 is much cooler (in the sense that it's more bluish) and the D800 do have a yellow/greenish cast. Finally, I also found a spot (pretty large, don't think that is dust) on the sensor. So, unfortunately my unit has problem 2) and 3) too.Because of problem 1),2) and 3), I decided to send it in to service.Two and a half weeks after I sent my unit to Nikon Los Angeles repair center I received my unit back. There are two things I really want to mention about the repair:1) Nikon website for tracking your repair is useless. The status you see is not up to date. For instance, even I check the status website daily, I receive my D800 back before any status update.2) I was told that they can change the color space of the D800 to look like D3, but I have to pay $30. I disagree with them. After a few phone calls, they escalate my case. The final respond from the cooperate office is that the D800 is more accurate than ever, if I want the change, it would be consider is a modification, but not a repair, hence there must be a $30 fee.Finally I decided not to pay for the $30 fee.Having heard a person online sent his D800 for problem 1) repair received a D800 that has sharp left autofocus point, but the originally sharp center point got messed up. I redid all my test.Guess what, all problem gone =) All focus points are sharp! Oil spot on sensor is gone. You might think it is my self protect mechanism, but I notice that if I compare the D90's LCD to the actual environment lighting, D90 LCD screen a bit too bluish, the D800's LCD is more accurate. So yes, the D800 screen is more yellow compare to D90's, but I do feel it is more faithful to the environment actual lighting. May be it's just me...Anyway, after a week with the repaired camera, I AM STILL AMAZED BY THE STUNNING DETAIL AND SHARPNESS this D800 can produce. Also, the DYNAMIC RANGE IS SECOND TO NONE! You can recover highlight and (especially) shadow like never before. Coming from D90 (with some decent lenss), the ISO performance is amazing. ISO1600 is very clean without any noise reduction. ISO3200 and 6400 is useable with little work. The only drawback is the heavy weight compare to my old D90. But it is a worthy price to pay for the sturdiness and stability.As an off topic point, people trash D800 when comparing high iso noise with 5D mark III. 5d mark III OVERRATE THEIR ISO. I do believe that the 5D mark III would perform better, but probably not by much. If you google "d800 noise Candlelight", you will see a video the compare D800, 5D mark II and 5D mark III at different iso level. You can see at the same ISO level, the D800 is much brighter than the others (people said about 2/3 to 1 stop difference). So, conservatively D800's ISO1000 is like 5d mark III ISO 1600!!UPDATE - 4/3/2013 - A bonus from Nikon:Yesterday Nikon posted firmware update ( D800 A:1.01 / B:1.02). Many people reported improved AF speed and accuracy. I installed the firmware. Tested non scientifically and found noticeable improvement! Thank you Nikon!UPDATE - 4/25/2013I have upped 1 star to give the D800 five stars from my original 4 stars rating. I have used the camera a lot recently. After each shooting section when I check out the photos, I still always end up with a "WOW". The crazy dynamic range and the sharpness is insane! Auto focus is also amazing even with non-center focus point. (I don't do video, so I have no comment on that)

Writing review as a former d200 then d300 and now d800 user. I have been using the d800 for several months now with a variety of lenses in a range of shooting situations. I use the camera for a mix of professional work which includes portraits and product stills, and for fun.Controls:I upgraded from my d300 because I dropped it and the flash was no longer working. The transition has been relatively smooth although I do find that I have had to relearn and remap a few of the controls. The switching of the + and - zoom controls still gets me, and I do miss the old auto focus mode selector that used to be on the back of my d300. I like having the bracketing button in easy access have it set to easily shoot in camera HDRs. Overall I find the control layout an improvement from the d300 especially the one touch live view button, and simple toggle between AF and MF.Using DX lenses:I still use my 17-55 DX lens with the d800 and right now am very happy with the results. I have my custom button set to switch between FX, 1.2x, and DX crop modes which is a lifesaver when using my old 17-55. Past its widest settings I like to use this lens in the 1.2x crop mode to get nice detailed 25mp images without too much vignetting. I have a 27" imac an on this size screen I cannot tell the difference between a 15mp dx cropped image and a 36mp full frame image but for large prints it may make a difference. One thing I do love about shooting the full 36mp resolution however is penalty free cropping. I had to be careful on my 12mp d300 about not cropping to much and loosing image quality but now I will crop out half of a 36mp file still be floored by the amout of detail. Overall I see no problem with using my DX lenses with the new camera and actually enjoy the added flexibility and creative potential they provide. I sometimes enjoy the circular image the 17-55 creates at its widest setting at the FX crop.ISO:Based solely on my observations I would say the d800 gains about 2 2/3 stops in ISO quality. Before, I would shoot my d300 up to ISO 400 and be completely satisfied with noise, dynamic range, and color quality. With the d800 I can now bump up to ISO 2500 and be completely satisfied with image quality. In low light situations I find bumping the d800 to ISO 5000 is about as high as I am willing to go before the image quality starts to degrade significantly. Auto ISO works much better and is easier to setup.RAW vs JPEG:I like to shoot RAW + JPEG and find that most of the time I am happy with the JPEG. Reading reviews I thought that RAW would provide a HUGE headroom in the shadows and while I find there is a good amount of data in the shadows I would say no more than a stop. Files are very detail but you can definitely see the effects of the anti aliasing filter and sometimes I wish I had sprung for the d800E. By default RAW images are not especially sharp and I almost always need to bump up the sharpness in software. On a positive note in the thousands of pictures I have shot I have yet to see moire.Metering:I find that the metering is much better on the d800 than d300. I rarely switch away from multizone metering as it is just very good at figuring out the scene and I dont have to use a lot of exposure compensation either.Live view:Live view is a VAST improvement from the d300 which was almost unusable. Having a button to quickly pull up live veiw is great! Although live view focusing still leaves quite a bit to be desired it will eventually find focus in most lighting situations.Auto focus:About the same as the d300. Fast and dependable as long as you can find a point with good contrast to lock onto.Overall:I am very happy with my d800 purchase. I recently purchased the 50mm 1.8 and have been using this for shallow depth of field and low light shots and think the color quality and sharpness of this combination is just outstanding. If I could think of a complaint I would say the Live View focusing could be better, and the battery life is not quite as good as my old d300 which was just insane. The build quality is also just a tiny notch below the d300 but overall feels very professional. The rear screen on the d800 is great and I have not had any color tint problems. The left focus problems that have plagued so many other users has not been an issue for me. I would say everything about the d800s image quality is a step better than the d300 and the main thing it has been doing for me is allowing me to shoot more freely. I shoot looser crops because I know I can always crop in without losing quality, and I rarely worry about how high I have take my ISO which used to be a constant worry with the d300. I debated for a long time which camera would suit be best as an upgrade for my d300. I went between waiting for a d300 successor, getting a used d700, slimming down with an OMD-E5, buying a d600 or going for the d800. A direct d300 successor would have been nice but the added depth of field with full frame was a big decider for me as I s

By now many people have reported on the internet problems with Nikon D800 and D800E autofocus. It is frequently reported that autofocus points on the left side do not work well. On four cameras (two D800s and two D800Es), I can confirm the problem!I have extensively tested four of these cameras (see testing notes below) and all four did not focus well when using the left most center focus point. Because those problems were so pronounced, I decided to return the cameras and did not test the other left side focus points. Internet reports discuss problems with those as well.It has been reported that the D800Es perform better than the D800s. That is somewhat consistent with my experience. The left autofocus points were worse on the D800s; however, I had one D800E with poor autofocus overall. That same D800E also had a broken electronic release connector when I received it. The other D800E performed better overall than the three other samples, but still not good enough. All four have been returned.What happens? Using standard autofocus, the camera will not focus well on the left most (center) autofocus point. In Live View mode you can get good focus (either manually focusing at maximum magnification or by using Live View autofocus). In side by side comparisons, Live View produces better results than standard autofocus. In many cases the differences were substantial with standard autofocus not producing results that were acceptable.Internet reports suggest many of the left side focus points have problems, not just the left center one. While that may be true, as I mentioned above, I did not test those on my four cameras because the left/center focus point off was enough to justify returning the cameras.For some people, not having the left autofocus working well won't matter. For me, I regularly shoot vertical landscapes and other vertical compositions where the left side selective focus points are very useful. I've been using the selective focus points on my D300 for years and find them quite valuable. Taking advantage of them has become very quick and simple for me and it is a feature that makes me more productive. So, I want them to work on the D800/E!There may be another serious impact of this problem even if you don't have that same needs as I do. Internet reports suggest that the 3D focusing function of the camera will also be degraded by left focus points not working correctly.For those interested this is how I tested the cameras, here's the process:- Put three focus targets on a wall corresponding to the center focus point, the left most center point, and the right most center point- Take shots where the selective focus points are on the center target, the left target, and the right target. Take four shots each with autofocus and four shots each with Live View (in other words, 8 shots per target, 24 shots per sequence. Another way of thinking of it is 4 comparison sets per target and 12 comparison sets per sequence)- Repeat sequence at different focal length and camera distance- Repeat all of the above with a different lens- Compare results in Adobe Lightroom side by side with the Library view X/Y comparison tool- On my first two cameras I used manual focus for Live View and on the second two cameras I used Live View's autofocus (by the way, the latter is very good!)- I also experimented with using autofocus fine tune on individual lenses. On the second two cameras (i.e. the replacements), I did all of the above and then repeated after setting the appropriate AF Fine Tune per lens. AF Fine Tune, in some cases, seemed to reduce the problem. However, I did not reduce it enough to make either camera's performance acceptable- So, this is literally hundreds of side by side comparisons across four cameras.Given the amount of reports on this problem on the internet, I suggest anyone wanting one of these cameras consider waiting until internet reports show purchasers regularly getting good cameras.Alternatively, if Nikon acknowledges the problem and guarantees new cameras don't have it or guarantees that they can fix it if one camera does have it, then I will try again and purchase another. In the mean time, I'm waiting. On the point of Nikon repairing the cameras, most of the online posts I have read indicate that Nikon service centers are not able to fix the problem at this time.For me personally, I was really looking forward to the upgrade from a D300. I really do want the D800/E to work! Instead, I've been really disappointed!Finally, a note on customer service...I purchased the D800s from Amazon and the D800Es through B&H. Both companies facilitated the camera returns and replacements. They were both supportive and helpful and did everything a purchaser could want when dealing with such a bad situation.Nikon seems to have been silent on this left autofocus issue, and that has NOT been to their credit. The good customer service provided by Amazon and B&H, in dealing with Nikon's

I have owned an original D70 since it's introduction. While very happy with it at the time, I always dreamed of moving to a full frame sensor camera sometime in the future. I have held out this long waiting for a camera like the D800. Initially though I was going to buy the D4. Impossible as it may seem I did not know the D800 was coming out. Once I discovered it was to be released soon and read some about it I changed my mind and put myself on the waiting list with Service Photo here in Maryland. I did not have to wait long.I got a call two days after release to come pick up my camera! I picked it up and rushed home to play with my new toy. I took it to several family events. The results were always decent. Of course, I used only the center focus point so I never saw any bad problems with focusing. My pictures were never tack sharp, always slightly soft. I rationalized it away to poor technique on my part.While on a photography outing with a friend we discussed the issue with focusing that my camera was displaying. He mentioned reading online about an issue with focusing on the D800. I resolved to research it more once home. The more I read, the more anxious I became.I went to Mansurovs Blog and read up on The Nikon D800 / D800E Asymmetric Focus Issue. I decided to perform the testing this site recommends. My camera failed, miserably. Using a Nikon 50mm f/1.4G lens to perform the testing I discovered the center focus point was soft. I, of course knew this already. The right focus point was even softer and the left focus point was simply horrible. Upset does not even describe how I felt.I was past the return period. It was suggested on many forums to return the camera to your local vendor and let them send it back for repair. I did not like this option as it means another set of hands between me and Nikon. I decided to send it in for repair directly myself.Many will probably say "Use the center focus point like you were and just use the camera as is." My answer to this statement is "I paid $3000 and deserve a camera that functions as advertised."I went to [...], logged into my account, and went to MY NIKON. I submitted a simple question to nikon. Where can I go on their site to check if my D800 is affected by the focus issue?I received this response the next day. "After researching your question about the D 800 focus problem that you are experiencing, we have received information in regards to the issue. Our service department has requested for you to send your camera in to be evaluated. Please use the below link to send your camera into Nikon. URL: [...] There is no need to call in advance for any approval or authorization; simply send the product in for evaluation with no accessories, unless part of the issue, and a photocopy of the receipt. Once logged in, service will send you a confirmation. Thank you for your patience. Nikon Technical Support."That link allows you to create an automated return form for your equipment. You need to properly pack your camera to protect from damage and include the following: 1. A copy of the packing list created from the link above. 2. Photocopy of your receipt. 3. Explanation letter.4. Optional (but should be done): A disk or an SD card with your test images to prove the problem. NOTE: Remove all accessories from your camera before sending! If you include a SD card with test images you will get it back. As a matter of fact I got back everything I sent in to the service center.I shipped the package to the Melville, NY Service Center on 7/30/2012. It was delivered the following day. It was not logged into their tracking system until 8/6/2012. Order Status: Order Accepted. Code was 25480, Serial 30039XX, Service Rank Repair B1, Category B1, Problem: Focus, Focus Issues-sample images included, TO GWO. Then came the wait...I presume because they had so many needing repair.Three days latter the order status changed to IN SHOP. It stayed this way until 8/17/2012 when I was verbally told the status was now AT QUALITY CHECK STATION. One day latter I received the camera and all material including paperwork and disk I sent in back via UPS. No damage to camera from their process at all. I was very happy so far. Attached my 50 and took some pictures of family indoors. WOW! We are talking Night and Day difference in camera's behavior. Focusing is snappy and dead on! Swapped to my 70-300mm f/4-5.6G. Before, this lens would "hunt" a lot. Now, it just snaps in focus, no hunting. I could not be happier now. Nikon has made me happy.So, in a nutshell. I am completely satisfied now with my new camera. The Nikon D800 is awesome. I am glad I bought it. It should have come out of the box perfect. It did not, but Nikon's Service Center made good on the repair and now I have what I believe is probably a D800 in better shape than most coming out of the box new, even if they have no apparent problems.I was anxious about shipping a $3K ca

As a background, I've been shooting SLRs for nearly 35 years. I've owned and loved my Nikon D300, battery grip, and Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 and 14-24mm f/2.8 lenses for nearly 5 years. I was ready to upgrade to a "hybrid" stills and video camera, but my primary passion is stills photography.Like most folks, I was extremely excited about the D800 when it was announced, but paused as it became clear that there were some manufacturing problems that were being sorted out. I waited a year and recently purchased a D800 body with serial 305xxx from Amazon, thinking that surely the left-focus issue was behind us. I was incorrect.I received the camera, charged the battery, put it on a tripod, and tested the left focus sensors. The problem was glaringly present, obvious without a fancy test. My camera body appears to be manufactured in June of 2012 based on the factory date setting and the firmware update. I put it through a few tests to see how bad the problem really was then decided that the camera body was going back. Discounting the left-focus problem, here are my observations from my brief tests:Image quality: Simply, utterly amazing (when you use the center focus point). Dynamic range is remarkable. For pros and serious amateurs it would seem the image quality is the best you can purchase in this form factor today. The high ISO noise performance is every bit as good as the 5D Mark III per sensor area (not to be confused with per pixel noise performance, which is not a useful metric these days). At the end of the day, some might argue that stills image quality is all that matters, and the D800 has this nailed.Autofocus: Seems only slightly different than the D300, with one exception. Face detection through the viewfinder actually works and seems to aid not only candid photography, but also sports/action where faces can be detected. This feature does not require Live View. I didn't upgrade the camera to the new firmware release, but I understand this improves AF even more. Good-to-great AF over all.Ergonomics: The camera is BEEFY but the grip is remarkably small. The grip finger grooves on this full-frame camera can fit only 2.5 out of 3 not-overly-large fingers. Also the little thumb groove on the back is barely present, so it feels a bit like holding a 2x4--not terribly confidence inspiring without a neck strap. The exposure mode dial is far too tight, not readily adjustable with my thumb like my D300. I do like the new AF-S/AF-C control button and dials, which seems like a nice improvement over my D300. The mode button has been moved to make room for an unnecessary video record button. Why the extra video button when you already have a video mode?Video quality: Moire/aliasing was present when I took my first video of some yellow-pad notebook paper that I taped upon on the wall to test for possible focus problems. Not sure why this wasn't fixed in the latest firmware release. The necessary low-pass filter (anti-aliasing) algorithms are well established in the embedded DSP industry and should be possible to employ in-camera with no great difficulty, as evidenced by the D5200 and D7100. The only real obstacle to solving this otherwise easily avoidable problem (in any camera) is inadequate processor performance.Overall: I'm not sure why Nikon hasn't taken the high road with their customers regarding their recent manufacturing problems. It would seem their lack of transparency (more than anything else) has created a real customer flight risk and business problem for the company. Prior to Nikon's handling of the D800 and the D600 manufacturing problems, switching to Canon had never crossed my mind. Today as I try to upgrade my Nikon body, it has become a real possibility for me. I really hope the next D800 body is a good one. I will know tomorrow.======================================UPDATE: Second D800 body serial number 305xxx has the same left focus defect and cannot focus correctly using the left focus sensors. It is also going back.======================================

It makes me very sad to write this review as I am a confirmed Nikon user. I had waited several months, like most people for my D800. I have read a lot of reviews that have praised the camera for its outstanding images and resolution and many that express frustration over the "green tint" and the "left focus" issue. I have not experienced the green tint but my camera does suffer from very pronounced issues with the left focus point. I will try to cover some new ground in this review that has not been covered in other reviews that I have read, mainly that when I say the left focus point, what I really mean, and I don't think that others have articulated this, is that it is the column of all three left focus points that are affected. At least that is true in my case. The center is razor sharp. I tested with a 24-70 at 2.8 and flash to remove camera shake issues. Nikon has asked me to submit samples and they were very nice about it. I am torn as to whether to submit the camera for repair or to return it.On the positive side the camera does pretty much everything else superbly. Great handling. Beautiful color. Responsive. It really does put medium format performance in a dslr form factor. Truly incredible.I know a lot of people have trashed the D800 with 1 star over this issue and I personally disagree with that. I think 3 stars is fair because this is not such a minor issue that a one star deduction would be appropriate, nor should it overshadow all the amazing things this camera does. I will own one at some point. It's just a matter of whether it is this one or one that is produced after a fix is in place. That all being said, the D800 is a complex piece of technology and the reality is that just about everything that relies on technology today requires adjustments. This includes everything from computer software to a Mercedes. I hope this review comes across as fair and balanced as I want it to be.====Update====Nikon looked at my images on Wednesday after I submitted them on Saturday which I think is pretty darn good turn around for a big company. The rep that I spoke with readily acknowledged the issue and immediately sent me an email with instructions on how to send the camera in for repair. I can't really ask for more than that. Yes, I would have liked for it to be perfect out of the box but Nikon is being very responsive and courteous. My only word of advice is to call them early or at off hours. In the afternoon the hold times can be long. I will update this review as things unfold.=======Update 7/24/2012=========I now have the D800 back from Nikon. I tested it today and while there is about a 65% improvement in the left focus point performance it does not match the focus of the center points. This is apparent to non-technical viewers who were asked to look at images on screen without being told which was the "good" one in advance. Each time the viewer picked the left focus point images as less well focused. They also felt that a left focus point image from the original batch prior to Nikon servicing the camera was less well focused than the new, post repair, left focus point images. On some images quite honestly I felt like I was pixel peeping and that the difference between the center and the left was quite small, while on others it was glaring. My concern is that for some portraits that it would be an annoyance. Just out of curiosity I mounted the same 24-70 on my old D200 and shot the same series of test images. What I found is that even on the D200 there is a perceptible difference in focus quality between the left and center. Again this was confirmed by a "blinded" subject. I have always been thrilled with the pictures from my D200. I have carried it on five continents and taken some of the best pictures of my life with it. I never noticed the "left focus issue". I think that there is a difference with the D800. Part of the appeal is the amount of detail in the image and the slightest imperfections in focus are more apparent than with a camera like the D200. Considering all of this and the fact that I really can't afford to upgrade my DSLR's less than every 7 or so years, I have decided to return the camera tomorrow and try another copy in the near future. As I said at the beginning of my review I am a dyed in the wool Nikon fan and my experience with the D800 has not been a great one. My D4 on the other hand is fantastic. I will be posting that review soon.========Update 7/25/2012========Returned original D800 today. Happened to check online to see if by some miracle a local Best Buy in the city had one. The one closest to me did not but one on the East Side did. I went and purchased it and brought it home for testing. Sadly it has the same problem. I ran basically the same set of tests on the camera and it had the same left focus issue. I not only showed the problem at f2.8, it exhibited the problem all the way to f5.6. This is why I have lowered my rating to two stars. If the camera worked as it

I have used the D700 bodies extensively over the past two years and I've grown accustomed to them like my own hands. The D700 has been hands down the best DSLR I've used during its time. I shoot weddings professionally and I almost always carry two D700 bodies on me - and thus weight quickly adds up when you carry the 2 bodies along with lenses and flashes, which makes it nearly impossible for me to use the D3/D4 series. The D700 has been a blessing with the right balance of nearly everything.How quickly has time gone by and now the D700 is giving way to the D800. Some say that the D800 isn't exactly the successor to the D700 - and after the initial tests of my own, I tend to agree.By now I'm sure you have seen countless reviews of this camera so I'm not going to bother telling you what's so good about it.Instead, I'll focus on the main differences comparing to the D700.My initial reactions holding the camera:- The body feels lighter, not by much, but definitely lighter- The grip feels different. Initially I think I still prefer the D700 grip better since the D800 grip feels fatter where your right index finger lies, not exactly a good thing for people with small/medium hands.- There is now an additional video record button near the shutter release button up top which is awesome,- but then that also moved the Mode Button which I often use, and they made the button smaller to make way for the video record button. This will take a little to get used to.My initial reactions looking through the viewfinder:- The +/- indicators are inverted by default (inverted by the usual Nikon standard: + / 0 / - )- After a little digging it can be reversed in the Menu- There is now TWO virtual horizon indicators helping you level the camera rotating left/right, and tilting up/down - this is absolutely awesome and extremely useful.My initial handing the camera:- The 8-direction cursor button is more recessed, making it harder to accidentally hit the center button but I feel like the directional arrows are a tad harder to press- They reversed the positions of the (+) and (-) buttons on the left side making it more like the newer DSLRs. I'll be pressing the wrong button for a couple months before I adapt to this.- The focus mode button on the back is now gone, I accidentally pressed that old button on the D700 many times,- In place of it there's now a dedicated Live View button and there's an ambient light sensor next to it,- that sensor allows the camera to control the LCD monitor brightness automatically. It's an excellent implementation and seemingly work very well during my initial testings.- The D700 mode dial on the left had ISO, Qual, and WB; while the D800 now has an addition of BKT (bracketing) button there also. However they put BKT in place of ISO, and now ISO moved towards the back of the camera where there was nothing on the D700. This again, is something that will take time to get used to.- The AF mode toggle is changed to more like the D7000. The D700 has S (static), C (continuous), and M (manual), and this new one is either AF or M. There's a small button on top of the toggle that you hold down to change focus mode - you use the command dial and sub command dial to change between AF-S and AF-C; 3D tracking, 9-point, 21-point, 51-point, single point. I'll just have to say it's different. The good: you can see what you're changing through the viewfinder - I like especially the "3D" indication when you change into AF-C 3D tracking they used the 51 on the focusing screen to draw out "3D" which makes it very easy to see without having to look at the top LCD panel or digging into the Menu. This is a huge thing 'cause now you can easily change focus mode without taking your eye off the viewfinder and actually see what you're doing as you change focus modes.- I feel like my eye has to aim a little lower as I look through the viewfinder, again something to get used to.- The lock button when not reviewing picture is now dedicated to Picture Control - making it much easier to access- The autofocus assist light is very very bright!My initial findings using the camera:- image quality is amazing- the RAW files are huge... I find myself handing 40-50MB RAW images and my 16GB CF cards are no longer sufficient- LiveView is very easy to use and going into LiveView mode is very responsive.- For some reasons shooting pictures in LiveView keeps the shutter open for 3 seconds even when I'm shooting even 1/50 sec, making it hard to recognize when exactly the camera is shooting. I'm rather confused about whether this is by design or is it actually a bug.- Dual card slot is a nice addition, but I'm not sure if I'll be heavily relying on this or not given the file size is already so big. I may end up getting huge SD cards to have it capture JPG as a form of backup instead of having the SD also store RAW.- 16GB cards store roughly 200 RAW pictures from what the camera estimates, ouch. This is based on 14-bit RAW files and lo
