Why are recent Canon-to-Nikon converts show that much hatred towards their previous brand? Canon didn\'t deliver what you wanted in a camera? Great, you already made the switch anyway. Life goes on! BTW, I am referring to the tone of your recent posts here and on the Nikon board and other boards related to this matter.

You\'re referring to the left AF point issue that affected a small batch of early release d800\'s. This problem has been solved over a year ago, and wasn\'t much of a problem to begin with.
That is not quite correct . It took Nikon quite sometime to finally fix the issue. In the beginning, the Nikon service center didn\'t even know how to fix the problem. The ironic thing was, Nikon kept on cranking out new cameras with left side AF issues until the end of 2012 or may be even a little bit later. Thom Hogan didn\'t even recommend the camera because of this. How many cameras did get affected? Quite a few, but nobody knows how many. It could be 15-20% but for sure not a small batch, like you described. If you dig down into the archived threads in the Nikon Board, you will find out all about this issue. Maybe you were not aware of this because you were still using Canon back then .
