Not a lot of surprises here other than the time it took to get out (and the lack of any criticisms of the AF system). The justification for the time it took is that it's a niche product (ok maybe it is) but that doesnt explain the absence of a 1D3 review (D3 came out pretty quickly). I can't help feeling that this site has 'issues' with Canon, even when the ratings are high and the findings are positive, the tone has become one of grudging respect.
