5DMKIII has a longer exposure & more noise reduction applied to the jpeg.
The default noise reduction in the D800 is less.
Download the raws & its clear the D800 is better at high ISO

They have to be different, they are 100% crops on sensors with different resolutions. For them to show the exact same view they would have to be displayed at less/more than the 100% crop, which wouldn’t be particularly meaningful in terms of comparison. This shows the image at the pixel level, it just so happens that there are more pixels in the Nikon, so the image shows a different view.

I have no idea where you guys are looking at, but the D800 crops look better than the 5D3 ones. They have more noise, but that is because NR is lower by default on the Nikon. If you look at the pink fabric, the D800 one shows fabric, where the 5D makes it a plastic bag. Look at the wine bottle-wrap: the lines and the green have colour on the D800, where sharpening turns the lines almost white on the 5D, and the green edges black. I bet that when we will see the DXO, the 5D scores lower than the D800. And if you think 36mp is too much, just switch it to 20mp. I think they should have posted the 20mp images of the D800 here too.

But go ahead: all go buy that Canon. That way I don’t have to wait that long till the best ever all-round camera arrives my the door. And fck FPS. Just click at the right moment dmmt!

Anyone else notice that the crops between the 2 cameras are totally different?
