Nikon D800- "ERR" message requires return to Nkkon
Aug 2, 2013 13:27:04 #
After less than 2 short months, my new D800 displayed the dreaded "ERR" message in the read out.
The few shots it took with this message were a horzontal display of 1/8 screen of the intended image and then an all white screen.
No warning. No damage. No hard use.
(And gee, am I glad I got to pay MVP for this body, only to have to return to factory for service.)
Nikon tells me 7-10 working days to repair IF parts are available.
Has anyone else had this message?
Thanks to all!

The only problem I have experienced with my D800 is the sensor oil problem. I am still getting oil spots after 2,000 shots, but I do my own sensor wet cleaning and it is just an inconvenience. The early D7000 used to suffer from the same oil problem, but the later ones that were manufactured were corrected and did not have the problem, so I expect the newer D800 might not suffer from this oil problem. If your camera is that new Nikon should not charge you for the repair, although it is inconvenient to be without it for that long (plus shipping time).

If you use google there are a number of issues with the D800s
Unfortunately, Googling "Problems with..." will return loads of results. So much for modern quality control. Products have gotten too complicated to work perfectly.

No oil splatter, I wish I had your camera, I had to clean oil splatter of my sensor 6 times.

I didn't realize how lucky I was until I started reading this thread. I just gave my D800 a pat on the back.

I'm happy to say that I've had absolutely no such problems with my D800 or D7000. Knock on wood!

Wow, I do envy you guys, my D800 is the only one I have had problems with. I have a D7000, D7100 and D2X and have never had a problem with them only my D800 has this problem, however it was one of the first ones sold.

And I have been a Nikon shooter/evangelist since 1975. This is my first schweckle with a Nikon product.
Very disappointed in my dealer for his apathy.
Adorama...at least you could have responded.
Customer retention is far less expensive than customer acquisition.

Google? Really JR? Google sunshine and you'll find all kinds of negative reports. I did some rather extensive research before I purchased my D800 and yes I found some negative reviews but when you add up the research the overwhelming result is that the D800 and the D800e are very good cameras. Google ANY make or model you'd like and you'll find plenty of folks complaining, most complaints boil down to user ignorance.

I didn't know that the D800 had oiling issues too. I know that the D600 did/does.

What is the trick you do to use them all at the same time time. Or are they just status props .

No, I plan my shots and use the camera that suites the photography I am doing. I will tend to use the D800 for low lighting shots or where I know I will be cropping a lot. I use the D7000 or D7100 for wildlife or where I want to get extra reach out of my FX lens. The D2X I use for precise photographs where fewer pixels means fine jewelry photography. But honestly the D7000 is so good I couldn't give it up when I got the D7100, the same will be said when I get the D800E.
