Nikon's ISO performance? Of course they differs between models. Megapixel counts and how the OEM tweaks the sensors, are come into the calculation. D800's 36MP sensor isn't as clean as D700's 12MP in high ISO sensors, so most people get into fast conclusion like: "Based on my experience, Canon has been better etc etc."
Of course you can continue to believe that your experience serves you best and ignore the datas.
"Because you are professional what you says go?" Nope, the facts go.

WELL SAID like you said megapixel counts and how OEM tweaks so how are these comparable with mobile phone camera?
we are on a mobile phone thread i am comparing the sensors in a mobile phone. What does nikon got to do with Sony, Iphone, and etc phones? Are you saying NIKON CERTIFIED Lens are using on those mobile phones imprinted like Nokia is doing with CARL ZEISS
Can the phone you mentioned uses exchangeable lens? Can it uses ISO performance like NIKON above 16000
So why are you comparing a mobile phone with professional gred DSLR cameras?
if you are comparing canon vs nikon and Sony DSLR then what you said make sense.
So how does Xperia Z 12 MEGAPIXELS Exmor Sensor outperform or at par with Nikon D700 and D800 in your debate?
Its sux not on a DSLR level but on a mobile phone level dude.
Before you comment do you know the advantages and disadvantages of exmor sensor on mobile phone?
Can you kindly show the datas comparison you mentioned vs EXMOR sensor of those DSLR camera vs EXMOR sensors on camera phones?
No offense to you professional but this just my opinion.
