Thxs JIrwin, NikkorAIS, dehowie, Gubat. Itīs a pleasure to read your commitments. And thank you those who PMed me, too.
Of Topic one:
But I wish to ask something to adrianb (and others). This is a photo forum (one that I like very much) and we are photographers. Why there is so often such a rude tone and why people choose this platform to agress others so often because of different opinion? I am here, to get informations and share somehow the most important activity in my life. I am not here to fight for/against anything/anybody. There is enough we all have to get along with outside in real life.
When I say: D800 is a great step ahead, I mean that. When I say, it does not support what I need, but 5D II does since 3 years, that is MY truth. There is no cause to fight against this "stupid" Canon fanboy, who does not see, how Canon takes our money and does not give us, what we need.
I purchased 5D II because it was best choice fullfilling most of my needs. When I was short before switching to Nikon at the D700 announcement a 65 year old Nikonian took me beside. "Why you do not just wait?" was his question. This camera (D700) is what we where waiting for since Canon brought out 5D. If I would not have this Nikon lenses collected since decades I would have switched sides 3 years ago. But you shoot Canon (I had my D50 with me). Wait a couple of weeks. There will be a follow up for 5D. He was right. And I purchased it. One of the best buys I ever did. And yes, I would like to grade up. To better high ISO (I would take better AF, too. But I do not need that. Higher ISO I do. I just developed 100 pictures of olympics done in horrible lighted locations, I shot yesterday for a customer. The shooting was 1.5 hours. Image deveolping needed 4. Three of them just for reducing noise without loosing to much IQ. If Canon brings out a 5D III at ISO 3.200 with noise of the actual 5D IIs 1600 I would purchase it tomorrow without any further features added on. It would just safe me 75% of time for the same todays job and earning. And of course I would say 5D III is great! I would understand that YOU would be still unhappy, "adrianb". But I would not care. I would be happy if Nikon or any other brand does fullfill your wishes (or mine). But I feel free, not to care about Nikon or other brands, if they would still not fullfill MY needs.
You own a 5D II and you whine about Canon and promotes Nikon. That is okay. But Canon did not "steal" your money. YOU gave it to them. If you think, this was wrong just sell the gear and buy what fullfills YOUR wishes, instead of talking to and trying to convince anybody "What you (like me) bought is Sh-t!" and fighting agains Canon and - more important - people, who say they are well served by them. I am happy when you are! Why are you not able to leave me happy with what I have and use? I am an old man now (yes, 50 is old  ). But when I learned one thing,, it is: "Whenever anybody feels the need to convince anybody else with his opinion, he does not realy want to convince anybody else, but just himselve."
So why not let us be "www.fredmiranda.com" a platform to meet and exchange experience and information instead of using it as a platform to produce ourselves in bringing down others?
Sicerally
Ralph
Off Topic II:
The "best woman on world (away for two days) send me a photo link I would like to share with you. Have pleasure like I had:
&feature=share
Back to topic:
As far I see, this thread is not mentioned to "WOW! Nikon has a 36MP whatever! - where is Canon?" The topic was just "1D X samples". Canon. I want to see more. And not ISO 100 but your promised ISO 51k, two stops better than 1D MK IV. You think it is possible to show us?
