Yep, same issue. Lots of light but guess what. Not enough contrast for the D800 to focus correctly. I am starting to get more depressed about this now. That second image is out by a mile, I can see it at that size it's that bad, your shutter is fine, AF point is in the right place, she's static by looks of it, and even if you moved, it would be more in focus if the D800 worked correctly in this situations.

Yes, we were steady, all conditions perfect ...but disaster struck

All day long has been like this, funny thing is that we went to a pub and it focused correctly in really crappy light. I am really confused about D800 focus inconsistency.

I booked service on Wednesday...going to drop my camera and send you a message if something is fixed.
...or maybe i should read page 100 one more time
