So much to do and so little time...where do the 24 hours disappear?

Current project is major decision between D700 and D800.  I will be posting my own comparison images.  Already I have found out that the D700 is more forgiving than the D800 but when the D800 focuses, it is sharp..real sharp..even after cropping.  Even more surprising is how the D700 stays close in sharpness even with 12MP vs 36MP.  The D700 is a classic...something that Nikon got right..very right.  Nothing else comes close in its class.
Images to be posted later for your viewing pleasure and own analysis.  Please understand that my comparison is going to be based on how I use my camera for my shoots, whether it be Portraits, Events or Birding.  By that I mean, that most shots will be handheld, which will put the D800 for a serious challenge given its resolution and apparent demand on shooting discipline.
Here is an image I took in a very dimly lit room with most of the light coming from an IPhone, which is being viewed.
This photo was shot an unbelieveable ISO of 10,159.  No noise supression applied, shot in JPG and then simply compressed for Facebook...so nothing special in the form of Post processing.  The results are staggering.  Technology has progressed.  This was shot with the Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S NIKKOR Lens for Nikon.
