DSLRs are nice, and all, and I envy you your D800, but I feel compelled to point out, my Nikon F2 has never had an issue with its firmware, and works just as well today with any computer, with any operating system as it did the day I bought it in 1972. I don't think I've had to reboot it once in the past 44 years. Jus' sayin'.

It didn't work with a 25 pin serial connector, nor a 9 pin, not with FireWire, nor USB1.0, nor even USB3.
