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.
I see, so with the D800 your care and techniques must differ from the AF centre point to the AF left points and from LV to Vf?

You missed the point.
What point? Tell me? What? My techniques work only when I use LV and centre focus and when I use VF and left focus point, suddenly my techniques become very bad. Care to enlighten me?
Wether or not your AF sensor works properly has nothing to do with the resolution of the imaging sensor. They're two different things. They're not even located at the same place in the camera. As far as the AF module is concerned, the image sensor resolution is totally and completely irrelevant. That's the point.
Don't blame the resolution of the sensor for a dodgy AF module or vice versa.

Exactly. That was clearly the point, yet somehow it turned into a left AF "issue" like every other thread that isn't a D600 dust thread.
A good AF system would be fine with 12 MP or 50+ MP, and a bad AF system would be just as bad at 36MP as it would be at 12 MP. It's totally independent.
Also, I don't think the OP understands what a Trojan Horse is.
