I have also had similar problems with the new 80-400 G. I have had it for 2 weeks now and am now seriously thinking of sending it back for another copy. On another forum I commented how pleased I was with it. And overall, I was. But, based on what I have written below and what I have read here and the images I have seen posted here, I think that there may be considerable variation among copies.
I shot it with my D300 and extensively with a D800E. All my editing is done at 100% directly from the camera. After extensive testing and comparing, I now feel that this copy is NOT tack sharp as others have said here. Of course, what some call tack sharp and what I call tack sharp, may be completely different. As I said, the first thing I do with any and all images is to view them at 100% right out of the camera. I guess some folks call that pixel peeping. I do not see why. It tells the story instantly.
This copy I have is…..pretty sharp…... but I did expect better.
1. Also, once it locks on, mine chatters in the same way when on the D300. Not so with the D800E; i.e. it just quietly locks on and quietly stays locked on.
2. But, as someone mentioned earlier, my copy does have problems with tracking. It really favors stationary subjects.
