So to all the people with the negative reviews about the camera please first check your settings, and try it out fully before claiming that you have a faulty unit!!!I may have gotten lucky with my d800 or I never noticed

Since several of you just keep coming back spewing hate because I only gave one star to what I believe was a defective unit, let me add that today I received my new D4 and all I can say is WOW

Another issue is you really need tripods to shoot great shots,if you are lucky to have a defect free unit

Is this a major problem, no it is not, but there is a problem that needs to be solved, why do I pay a full price for a defective unit

Mine had serial number 3044XXX looks even from a latest batch,unit had issues

It will take some time to learn all the "bells and whistles" (if ever…) of the D800, but I'm very glad I decided to acquire one of the best photographic units ever made!

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.

Renting 2 D800 replacements for 3 weeks while Nikon fixes the defective units they produced would be north of $1000.

So, unfortunately my unit has problem 2) and 3) too

I think the unit I received may have had some focusing issues, but the shutter release button definitely fell out

My unit definitely do not have problem 4) and 5
