David, did you AF tune the lenses?

I then tested the camera with phase detection in the cameras normal shooting mode. I found the center focus point NOT QUITE AS SHARP as the center focus point in live view. I then tested the outer points, one at a time and found that none of the targets were sharp, this included the right and left focus points.

I used the the D800 on vacation out west this summer by using the center focus point but I was not blown away with the cameras sharpness with 36mp sensor.

If you spend $3000 for a camera it should work as advertised. SEND THE CAMERA BACK AND GET IT FIXED!

Hi David,

If your center point was OOF, then you would have needed to fine tune the lens and then redone the test. Did you fine tune the lenses and then do this test of yours? If not, I suggest you first fine tune the lens and then try out this test.

Cheers,
