My experience, after owning and using the 1Ds II, 50D, 7D, 5D, 5D II, D300 and D700 (I didn't bother with the D3 since everyone has said the IQ of the D3 is exactly the same as the D700), is exactly the opposite of yours... Nikon's full-frame high ISO performance comes at the cost of an overly aggressive low-pass filter, and when the files are interpolated up to 48mb (as is required for stock submission), the Canon images are much sharper - no matter how you process the Nikon images. The only 12mp Nikon that competes with the Canons in sharpness is the D2X, as has been proven by many respected Nikon reviewers....Show more →
Really? Any references to these "respected" Nikon reviewers? Nikon tells it a little differently themselves...
Interesting, the same guy was in this thread (https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/829666) were the OP seemed to get slammed for using such a high shutter speeds, Maybe the OP in that thread is Rob G in disguise.

I told my salesman that when I come in to pick it up we'll pull it out of the box and take a couple shots at ISO 12'000 plus just because we can :P
You guys may have to find a dark closet somewhere to shoot in the store There may be too much light at ISO 12,000+ and all your images will be over exposed.
