Dada,
D5 and D500 have introduced an unique way to adjust the PDA back/front focus by using the live view. That will make life easy.

Yes, the world is abuzz about that and as far as I know none apart from Bjorn Rorslett has any specific idea about it and he has not explained as yet :-D . The existing AF tuning works well and I have been surprised that some lenses which used to back/front focus regularly with D610/D800 thus necessitating AF fine tune, have stopped doing so in D810 !!! The modern camera is becoming a very very black box with every passing generation , simple folks like me no longer understand what is happening inside :-D. No need to also if everything works fine.

Wow thats a wonderful news. Now AF tuning can be done on the go.
I am surprised why Nikon did not made this point in bold in launch campaign

Dada Shantnu,
This is not plague. This issue has been there from the time SLR were invented and brought to market. This is a parallax problem between the Phase detect AF sensor and the plane of film/sensor. This is the reason camera manufacturers had specified tolerance limit for AF accuracy. Wise film photographers knew this issue and always worked around it by setting aperture to counter this issue.
Now due to the eruption of net every one learn t about this and started complaining and returning camera/lenses. This issue only arises with fast telephoto lens shot wide open. With wide angle its no problem. To mitigate this manufactures introduced the Fine-tune setting in cameras, though only in higher end. This involved understanding and using this tuning which is bit difficult. I bought a special target for this fine tuning. Therefor, Nikon introducing this fine tuning with the help of Live-view is easy and quick. I applaud Nikon for this.

Hi Friends

I got Canon 600D, Tokina 11-16, Tamron 18-270. Also have a NEEWER battery grip which house two LP-E8 batteries.

I want to buy an additional Canon body and want it to be able to make use of these lenses and if possible, the battery grip as well.

Which camera body would you suggest?

Thanks.
