If the D4 doesn\'t use exmor then what is Nikon doing that is so much better than Canon?
I am sure that these photos have a place, but if you use the latest canon camera (5DMKIII) @ ISO 12800 & 25600, the results are very useable under difficult circumstances. (And the camera can focus in these situations). I have never used a Nikon camera so do not have anything to compare to, but I really doubt that 5DMKIIIs output is in any way limiting my photography in low light.
If you shoot Canon and are concerned if you should switch due to better sensor in D800 (a very fine camera), do yourself a favor. Rend a 5DIII for a weeks before to spend all that energy in switching.
It doesn\'t limit in low light, you can even see here that in the upper ISO it might have better deep shadows than the D800 actually, it\'s in good light where it differs in not having, by today\'s standards, very good dynamic range, same as the old 1Ds3 half a decade ago. In the high ISO you see it does look better than the 5D2 though and even D800 if you go really high, for the deep shadows up there. If these can be trusted, and some of the differences up top seem a bit larger than expected, then it might have better dynamic range than the 5D2 at any ISO1600+ by a noticeable amount and better than the D800 ISO6400ish and up.
