I read a lot of their review. In the comments there were a handful of people accusing them of fan-boy-ism. Either that's true or Nikon is just plain awesome because outside of Phase One, Nikon does get rather lonely at the top of their lists.

By the way, you could probably easily convince me either way :-)
