Interesting to note that Sony has not release any camera bodies using the 36MP sensor.

From the complaints on this board – you would think that the PDAF system from Nikon cannot keep up a 36 MP sensor...

Did Nikon make a mistake in putting the 36MP in a semi-pro body and pricing it at $3K when it could have reserved it for a higher end body (D4x???) that could have a higher end AF system to cope with the increased resolution?

Was this sensor a Sony Trojan Horse?

The AF module in any camera is entirely independent of resolution and the sensor. The AF system in the D800 is most definitely up to par...perhaps you are confusing that with the fact that higher resolution generally needs more care taken with technique and faster hand-held shutter speeds.
