Yes the D800 is an amazing camera, for sure! After using my nikon D300 51 point AF, im afraid the 5d2 will not have a sufficient AF for me. I really like shooting wildlife, birds in flight etc. This usually demands a great AF!

While i agree that the 5D2 would be more than enough for me in every other aspect, the AF horror stories are pushing me away.

Looks like ill hold out for the D800, hopefully they get another batch released soon!
