The 1D-X and D4 are aimed at the photo-journalist, so speed (10fps) and available light photography are the requirements. Extreme resolution is not essential.

The D800 and 5DIII are for landscape and studio work - so quality is everything, but the subjects are slower moving or lighting can be controlled.

Different tools for different tasks.
