Remember the Datsun 810? It was sort of hunched up and weird looking, in the somewhat mystifying '70's Japanese ideom... but not quite as weird as the B210, a.k.a., the Atomic Cockroach.

I think the D800 had one bug at the start and short lived and much fewer than the new K-3 with its flapping mirror and all.
Actually, the D800 had a problem with focus plane asymmetry in the viewfinder, not fixable via firmware upgrade, of course... AND it had (and still has) a just plain dumb design flaw in the scaling algorythm for downsampling to the resolution of the LCD screen in live view. Other than that, it's perfect.
Not to say the D800 isn't a good camera, but by comparison, the K3's little mirror kerfuffle is just an occasional annoyance* -- if an initially disconcerting one -- and probably (there's some reason to think) about to have its firmware remedy very soon. And the Nikon will still be flawed, even by certain D3300 standards. BTW, what's the "and all" I'm supposed to be worried about?
* Maybe somewhat more than a once-in-a-while annoyance if you're a pro "on the clock", I might concede.
