The Nikon seems miles ahead.

I've read that review GB, and I'm not really sure what to take away from it. He certainly demonstrated the dynamic range of the D800, but expressed concern about focusing through LV which is his preferred technique. He's using some fairly exotic glass (tilt-shift lenses) and it sounds like he's been around long enough to have used a 5:4 view camera where such a technique is the norm. Call me biased, but I just got the impression that he didn't really give the Nikon a go.

Ultimately, there are few people who will have the chance to really compare these cameras side-by-side. I've got far too much invested in Nikon lenses to change camps to Canon, and the closest I'll get to a Canon 5D MkIII will be using a friend's camera.
