I have 2 D800s and unfortunately they only work in studio....

Yes friend thank you, but yea to be more specific is this at dim lights say like reception or church the camera has about 25% percent accuracy, I literally have to shoot like 10 times same pose or whatever to make sure at least one photo is in focus and even there it is still no 100 % right. No amount of AF tuning could really help. When there is plenty lights and my subject has good contrast the D800 nails the focus but I shoot like 80% in challenging light conditions and the D800 is horrible at a medium to far distances, up close is good like your subject is almost filling the frame but at far distances it is trouble. I shoot with primes at F 1.4 through F2 and anything at these setting looks just messy, I can not trust the D800 at all in dim lights it is hit or miss but more like miss and glad I bring with me the D3s it is def better. I have been doing photography since I was 17 years old, I am 36 now and I believe I have some good sense as to what I am doing so no it is not me or my poor techniques, it is the camera so if some of you claim not having this problem you are either ignorant, too afraid to admit it or simply have not shot with your d800 in the poor lighting conditions.

Respectfully,
