That was good, but this was better (well at least more entertaining :) ):

How about a comparison by a professional?

Cool, Clearly the Canon JPEG engine with everything turned off does a better job which is not surprising. Nikon tends to emphasize JPEG less than Canon does. Neither of them touch the Olympus JPEG engine though which is by far the best in the industry. At the RAW level, I give the edge to the Nikon.

I do wish they did a landscape photo shoot-out though.

Both cameras in PT2 were a little out of their depths, Especially the D800, If i was that guy shooting in those conditions i would use a D4 or a 1D series but either way it proved in low light both AF systems worked well

Me too. Then I'd like to hear someone compare 20x30 (or so) prints from both, hear how all those extra pixels translate to the (my) real world.

Do you realize that still photography is so 20th (and 19th) century, right? ;)
