D800 vs 4x5?

I am not sure exactly what you mean but if you mean can it deliver 36MP of resolution, at low ISO's which is where most of these larger format cameras operate, the answer is yes. The most obvious choice would be the 'E' version as it eliminates the effects of the OLPF, which larger format cameras lack.

Here is an example using an AF-S 50 1.8G, shot handheld (raw conversion in DXO 7.5.1).

A 100% crop of the left tower from the above shot - distance to top of tower is approx. 500m.

Hope this is helpful...
