quite wonderful. what shutter speed and aperture did you use? Just curious to know a sense of the amount of light present...
Recently on a vacation trip I surprised myself taking a few ISO 16,000 shots of my daughter playing. I included those shots in a printed book I did of the vacation pictures, and you cant tell which ones are the actual 16,000 ISO shots! Quite nice!
Enjoy!

Nope, not jpeg. I shot that in RAW with a 24-105 f/4L lens, f/8, 1/100s, ISO 12,800. I wasn't allowed to use a flash. I imported as RAW, saved to jpeg. I then took the RAW and applied 80 NR, saved to jpeg. The colors look spectactular out of the camera with the 1DX. I'm very pleased with it so far.

ISO 12,800 with the 5D3 and 1Dx is nothing, at all.
I shot ISO 20,000 last week and the images looked fantastic on my 5D3. So awesome to have so much ISO range, so usable.

I'm really liking both cameras. They make my 1Ds3 and 1D4 look bad. I am keeping a 1DX and 5D3 and selling my 1Ds3 and 1D4. I just am so ecstatic regarding the color rendition and ISO performance of both cameras. I'll have to say good job to Canon on both cameras. Isn't it amazing that ISO 12,800 really is nothing to either camera? So cool.

You will not be disappointed one bit! I promise. No matter which camera you have, the 5D Mark III or the 1D X, you will not have any negative impacts from either. There is little wrong and I have had nothing but pure enjoyment with them. I look at the 1DX as just a super fast/sports version of the 5D Mark III. And the 5D Mark III is sort of my 1Ds Mark IV. Briansquibb will never go for that analogy, but congratulations if you make the purchase. Not to confuse you though, but there is nothing wrong with holding onto your 5D Mark III and TS 17. That's a great combo too. I agree though, I would sell those if buying a 1DX because the cost is quite exhaustive.

I played with the RAW file after reading your post, appears to be 100% due to color temp. I'm really bad at telling what looks correct

I'm running into the same sort of issues though in tungsten lighting, green hues to the shadows. As you can see, it's doing it here too. I've noticed the same result in the 5D3 shot in tungsten lighting, with tungsten WB. Why is this green channel doing this? This is actually irritating considering I never noticed this in the 1D4 or 1Ds3.

Moral of the story is that with digital photography, shooting in tungsten and/or fluorescent lighting indoors without a flash is never, ever a good thing.

Basically any shot I took indoors in indoor lighting with no flash, are unusable because I cannot fix the green shadows. I've never had this issue before I guess.

Try doing manual white balance off a white or gray card that's illuminated from the light source (looks like window light). That should make the shadows free of a color cast. But then there might be a cast on the face which is lit by reflected light off of various colored objects.
