You may be right. I've had bad luck with D3, D3s and D800E which I have used to shoot weddings. A friend of mine had bad luck with a D3s and D4 which he uses professionally full time.

Just took a quick look at your posting history. Do you really own a Nikon?

I have own many cameras but used Nikon semi-professionally since the release of D700.
