Digital Rev reviews the D700.

Summary as follows:

Excellent ergonomics. Check.
Excellent picture quality. Check
Ridiculous high ISO noise management. Check
Very attractive asian model holding camera. Check. Wait, what?

O.K. so clearly Digital Rev does it a little bit differently than DPR…

I will note one critique that I haven’t noticed before:

Internally, the D700 is very much identical to the Nikon D3 with the exact same 12.1 megapixels CMOS full frame sensor. Needless to say, it very much duplicates the same success of producing the beautiful low noise images that the D3 has been known for. Like the D3 and D300, the D700 also showcases a 51 point autofocus system with 3D tracking available locking focus to moving subjects. However, we found it rather sluggish in comparison and would only place it on par with Canon’s 40D. In fact, we felt that the autofocus might even be a bit slower than the Canon 5D.

I’ll have check some other reviews for similar complaints…
