Why different ISO values ? Even on my old D300 ISO 100 looks better than ISO 200 although ISO 200 is the official base ISO value.

D600 base ISO is 100, whereas D700 base ISO is 200. BTW, the D300's base ISO is also 200, and 100 is achieved through digital division, which means you're losing one stop of DR to go down that low (Lo.3?).

Crops : Same image size means you had resized one of the two images.

Oh, G--, not that again.

Lower ISO of D600 in addition with image resizing clearly puts the D600 far ahead. On the full size images though it becomes obvious that the "real" visual difference is much smaller than the crop might suggest.

No offense but I think that your test is a bit misleading since it makes the D700 look much worse than it actually is.

Well, as your conclusion seems derived in large part from misconceptions about what "base ISO" is supported by each camera, please reconsider.
