It's Nikon 5200 on par with full frame?

It was (almost) a tongue-in-cheek comment.

My point is, at base ISO, cross-system cameras will be if not identical then very close. That's certainly the case for DX vs FX

In fact, the D2x is ​better ​than the D3 at base ISO - don't take my word for it (I haven't pixel-peeped the two), but Thom Hogan suggests so, and I think he's a serious photographer.
