Actually, It's the other way round. The 1DX produces a superior image at high ISO and in FL-limited situations compared to 1D4, even when you up-sample its files. I have specifically addressed this issue in my my review of 1DX
At low ISO where noise is less of an issue for 1D4 it does have some resolution advantage in FL-limited scenarios, but after using the 1DX for a while there is no going back to 1D4.
The 1DX is the best EOS 1 series overall ever made IMO and I think Canon put themselves on the right track with this decision....Show more →
And of course they couldn't improve on the 1D IV and APS-H sensor tech if they wanted too.
Any crop sensors only advantage is pixel density, once thats out of the way (ala d800) they have no advantage (other than price) and may disadvantages.
Still not there on processing power though. The D800 can only do 4 FPS and maybe 6 in crop mode and it's not even equivalent to the pixel density of a 7D.
The D800 is a relatively inexpensive camera. Besides the AF limitations, the camera is underpowered for image processing. I'd gladly pay more for more/faster processors in a pro-sized body, but Nikon (and Canon for that matter) don't see a large enough market to have high res and high speed.

When exactly will that be Rob and what technology will allow 12fps at 40MP say? All I care about is the now, not the maybe later.
