Interested in where you got those figures? I doubt that's an apples-to-apples comparison as I don't believe the technology difference between the two cameras is as great as that (i recall something about geometric scaling of the figures because of different pixel size.. which is not really what we mean by QE?). Canon and Nikon are both pushing hard within the same envelope of what's possible.. I find it very hard to believe they would be that far apart on a truly equivalent measure.
