This new camera body is cursed...
I had written yesterday how I had received a new camera body from Amazon on Friday only to find that it was a used re-pack. My guess is that an Amazon employee "borrowed" it for a few days, shot a couple hundred photos, scratched the side and then re-packed it while forgetting one of the cables. The employee tried to slip-stream it back into the "new" inventory.
Amazon was amazing about sending out a new body that Saturday and I received it yesterday.
There is a known flaw with earlier versions of this body - bright spots appearing on long-exposure images. Since I love doing time-lapse photography, this is very germane.
I checked the serial number and BINGO! My new camera body is one of the earlier units and has the flaw. I will be shooting a time-lapse tonight and then boxing it up and shipping it off to Nikon tomorrow. Arrrrggghhh!!!
That being said, I really love the new body (D810) - the image quality and sharpness is outstanding.
