....What I meant about the Jpeg straight from my current Canon EOS 5D, they are not what I am looking for. In my eyes these images are artificial. I don't know how it is with the D800, because I don't know anybody who has one. And so I cannot compare my EOS 5D Jpeg's with the ones of the D800.....

....well, wouldn't like to be seen pushing one brand over another now :-) …. but if you have a 5D now the logical progression would be to a 5D3, no? don't you already have the lenses? - have you tried buying a decent set of new lenses lately?
….a friend who had a 5D and now has the 5D3 is making excellent pictures with it with little or no post, especially in difficult rushed and dark situations and he's using jpegs, for me his pictures are noticeably better now and are really nice and natural (of course output jpegs depend largely on your camera settings so just be careful if using the in-camera NR) + the camera has what is one of the very best autofocus systems around …. i've been at an event using my 7D/70-300 and was offered by another friend "here hold my 800/70-300 take some shots with it"…..well while i stood there looking throughout its nice ff v/f and watching it find focus i could have taken a complete burst of not missed shots with my old 7D, so for me it was no contest, i gave it back, thanks for the look ....but he makes lovely pictures from it
+ have you tried buying a set of lenses for a new system lately - miscentered lenses, lenses that break, soft lenses that are 'within specs' from whoever etc etc - for me, buying a lens that i'm happy with has been a problem, i have to be really careful although maybe it's just me....i hope
