At base ISO the advantage of the D600/D800 ranges from 2.5 to 3,2 stops of dynamic range. This is a huge advantage. From about ISO 1600 both Nikon and Canon (5DMk 2 and 3) are equally. (see here: http://home.comcast.net/~nikond70/Charts...,D800,D600)
So of course the DR advantage in RAW is very obvious. You have much more headroom in your RAW files to recover your highlights or shadows.
But if you only shoot in jpg mode you are giving away this advantage. But honestly who is shooting only jpgs with these cameras?
