Excellent info, and I agree with pretty much everything that's been said. Just a small point of clarification: for high ISO the noise levels are clearly in favour of Nikon over Canon at present (at the respective price points) and have been for some time. It's not a huge lead, but is quite measurable and definable, and to be honest its not really up for debate. Canon have definitely narrowed the gap with the 5DMarkII, when you take into account its higher resolution (not so with the 50D though).
Overall the Nikon D3 is the clear leader, with the D700 and D300 also VERY good, and better than their Canon counterparts - albeit with currently lower pixel counts. The D3X isn't so good, but at the price they have set, it can almost be ignored anyway ;-)
This of course doesn't change all the other various arguments for Canon being the better/more popular AP platform. But for high ISO noise Nikon wins.
