In contrast to some users, My D800E still seems to be 100% functional after having a few falls from waist height (a strap ring attachment issue cured by reverting to Nikon\'s triangular fasteners). AF, MF, Live View and exposure are all fine. I guess I\'ve been lucky, but perhaps this shows there is variability in the quality of Nikon\'s body frame castings for the D800 series, that some frames are more delicate than others.
