I've read this three times now, and I still can't figure out if this is a question or a comment.
It's a question, with some comments, a couple of concerns, some info, wrapped in a bit of reflection... :mrgreen:

I'd suggest your cell phone. That escapes all the crap about which is better/best or what kind of software gives me the best bang for the buck. I'm sure you also hate it when someone says "that camera sure takes great pictures." I take the pictures, not the camera. Really. The cell phone. Though I will still use other cameras...

Cell phone "Photographers" seem to be happier photographers ;)

Didn't you try that topic already, and we collectively said that was silly? :-)

Simple - because you want it.

Hello? The 5D3 has better video capability? I use both the 5D3 and D800E and I can categorically state that at least until ISO 6400 the Nikon video quality exceeds that of the Canon, except for a slight bit more moire in a few situations. With 60p it will jump ahead even further, not to mention a much better back LCD for live view and peaking. It will also shoot full HD in crop mode, which is absolutely useful.
You want better, go for the Sony A7s...

I have had 2 Nikon D800's still own one. And 5 lens. A big investment. I have been a Nikon owner for as long as I can remember. This is not a Nikon vs Canon etc post. The improvements are OK on 810 and the 610 has had problems.
As you know, the D800 is a fine camera. You're not going to produce better pictures by spending money. You'll just wind up with a camera that you'll have to learn to use. Nikon DSLR gear is a good investment, compared to some other brands and models. When you decide to get something new, your Nikon gear will fetch good prices on ebay - or wherever.
As for the D810, it seems to me that there are significant improvements over the D800. there was a very good link posted here a few days ago referencing a lengthy article about the changes made to the new model.
EDIT: Found it! Very good article.

You can say that again! But please don't.

full frame video cameras start at the same price as the D810 - and then you would have to buy lenses - and another bag to carry everything, and all sorts of extra "stuff" I don't use video on my D800s but if I had to choose between buying a few accessories - mikes, shoulder mount, lighting, etc to turn my cameras into pro quality videocameras and buying into a whole new system - I am pretty sure I would not choose the latter.

Would you rephrase this?

One should purchase the 810 simply because the 800 and 800e have reached their production line death. To 'upgrade' from the 800 to the 810? You need to be nuts or have too much $$$ and suffering from the acquisition syndrome.

Ah, but the SLR is the new video camera! That is if you don't count cell phones.

Because they are looking for what the D800 offers? And with that they also want the latest version of the body. I see it as incremental to fix issues with the D800. You have the D800. What would you get today, if you did not already have that body?
if I did not have the D800 I would buy the D810 I want a D4s but $$$ is a problem so I stick with my D3s
