RESIZING ... there is a common opinion that one has to resize images to properly compare them. Nonsense. As a D800 and D300 owner I can say ... reduced to screen size at ISO 100 the images of both cams are hard to tell apart. Does this make both cams equally good ?

No, it means that at that low of resolution (2MP, about enough for a 4" x 6" print at 240 dpi), both cams are equally good. At some point in the enlargement process, one camera will likely pull ahead. Care to guess which one?
