Apologies if this horse has been beaten to death already. I did a test for this, which I only did because there's so much noise surrounding the issue. Interestingly, I did find autofocus inaccuracy, but only with my 24-70 lens, at 24mm, and at the the far left focus point. It's enough of a difference that at 100% pixels you can clearly see the difference between live view focused and viewfinder AF images.
Realistically, this will never come up in the work that I do, but it's annoying. Would any of the sober-minded people here (yes, I know, this is a camera forum, fat chance ...) consider this within the range of expectations for an AF system, or should it be considered a defect? 90% of the work I do is on a tripod with manual live view focus. For AF stuff I usually just use the center point.
My inclination is to wait several months for Nikon to deal with the deluge of angry customers, get better at their fix, and reduce the wait times. Then maybe also the camera would get a CLA out of the deal after it's seen some use.
Or I could ignore it.
Thoughts?
