I MUST be doing something wrong

D800 here. No problems. AF accuracy is great under the vast majority of conditions. It's not perfect every time if you really want to push it (like f1.4 under low light, moving subject), but NO camera is perfect every time with every single AF point. And with 36mp, we are noticing slight AF that you can barely see at 12mp with some sharpening. I guarantee that the d800 AF is better than d700, but we are all inspecting the files closer.
