I guess it really depends on what you're shooting. To me, any noise is distracting, which is why I usually shoot with ISO 100, 95% of the time. If you're a wedding photographer though, I can see why the extremely high ISO would be better than not getting the shot. The D800 is suppose to have a really good dynamic range though, which might help in post without loosing detail which I really like. Truth be told, 12MP is enough, but having 36MP means more to play with. For someone doing wedding photo's this could work as a benefit, potentially saving a pic that needs cropping. It's not like you have to shoot at that setting either.

DxOMark gave the D800 a score of 95 vs 81 for the 5D Mark III, besting it in every category including low-light ISO if that means anything. At the end of the day though, I still think they are pretty much neck and neck.
