Green color cast with Nikon D600 and D800 (esp.at high ISO)?

Is there a slight color bias with the Nikon D600 and D800 toward green >

In one video review on youtube it showed the images from the Canon 6D and the D600 and the D600 photos showed a slight green bias which became overwhelming at high ISO's in very low light. The Canon 6D looked more natural. Ken Rockwell noted the same about the D800.

Apart from that there wasn't much difference. The 6D is let down by only having one cross type focus point… But the D600 let down by this color bias?

Added (1). Thank you to 'The Last Anon' -
some of what you say I think is valid but I would rather use a camera where I'm not having to color correct every single photo above 400 ISO. Judging from the results I have seen online, the D600 would need that but with the 6D most images didn't need anything doing to them. Regarding altering the white balance settings - that will give an approximation of what I'm looking for but the amount of correction will vary with the ISO number - so I would prob. Have to remember the WB correction for every single ISO above 400 (or whatever looks right) and manually set it for each ISO. Tedious

Having said that the 6D has a major flaw in the single cross type focus point ( obviously dumbed down so that people will lust for the 5D mkIII)

Given the options and considering that a 5D mk IV won't be out for at least 2 years and I rekon the replacements for the D600 and D800 will still have the problem, I will save a bit more and get a 5D mkIII

Added (2). EDIT: I don't think there's any perfect camera. If there was, the manufacturers would have a hard time trying to get everyone to upgrade.

I'd love a Mamiya 645 AFD II and a Credo 80 digital back but I don't want to take out a mortgage to buy it - and I don't think it would be much use for indoor low light photography, much more for architecture, studio and maybe weddings.

It will be interesting to see what comes out as the successors to the 5D mk3 and D800. Will Canon be tempted to match the D800 resolution?

Opinions on Nikon D800 and Canon 5D Mark III?

Over the past week I've been reading bit by bit on which one, for the foreseeable future, would be a better purchase. Such objective, though, is quite unfair, as I'm well aware what both have strengths that are not necessarily parallel with each other.

I've had a 7D for over 3 years, and I feel too limited with its cropped sensor, therefore, I have saved up to make the leap into full-frame. I've read very heated arguments regarding these two cameras, each one having a pro that is hard to give up, while also having a con that is not easily dismissed.

Without going into too much detail, the consensus seems to be that the D800 is amazing at stills, and barring any low light scenarios, is also quite sharp and pretty for video. The mark III on the other hand seems to be baby steps away from the mark II, and for me, its most attractive feature, other than my familiarity with Canon, is the extremely attractive low-light performance.

My purpose for this device will be mixed, I will take stills, and I will shoot video, both largely in equal amounts. However, I still don't know which one to buy. I'd like to hear some opinions if you own either of these cameras, or if you own a different one and would like to share the reasons as to why it is as good as it is.

Manual focus lenses for Nikon?

I'm a fan of Manual focus lenses for some landscape and macro photography situations. I use a nikon D200. I only have 2 lenses unfortunately a 50 f/1.8 and a Sigma 28-80 Macro.
First off I have been looking at a Soligor 135 F/3.5 lens nikon mount.
I'm also wanting a nice wide angle prime lens roughly a 28 f/2.8 but not a real expensive one. I have seen some vivitar in great shape but as far as older lenses go I really do not know where to start. I know i'm not going to get great quality for under 100$
just looking for a reasonably quality piece of glass that won't break the bank of an unemployed college student.

Can you disable pop up flash when using DTTL to trigger speedlight?

I have a Nikon D100 and I'm trying to use the D-TTL system to trigger my off camera speed light. I only want the speed light to flash and not the pop up flash. Is there a way that I can still use the D-TTL and disable my pop up flash? I'm using a SB-50dx.

Professional photographer here looking to step up from iphone camera?

Okay so I'm a pro photographer. I've been shooting with my iphone for like 3 years so I know everything.

I've narrowed down my choices to these cameras

A Nikon D4 a Nikon D3000 a Canon T5i a Sony W710 or the new iphone 5. I have pentax lenses I can use on all of these cameras. You just jam them on right?

I also want to shoot in 1080p film and need some good film to put in my digital camera, I tried to put HD film in my iphone but wound up electrocuting myself. I tried to call up apple but I couldn't because the HD film was still stuck in my iphone.

I also need HD memory film for my pictures.

Who makes good HD films these days. Does Craftsman and Staples make good HD memory film.

This question is obviously fake. I just posted it because of all the brainless questions people have been asking lately.
