Digital Photography Review has been pretty busy.  After releasing their abbreviated 41-page review of Canon EOS 5D Mark II, they have now turned their sights on the $7,999 FX Full-Frame Nikon D3x:

When we reviewed the Nikon D3 in April last year we said that it was ‘possibly the most compelling, capable and well-rounded professional digital SLR ever made’ and that an (at the time non-existent) D3X ‘would have quite a job to do to better the D3′. The D3x eventually became reality in December. We’ve had one for just over a month now and after thousands of sample shots both in the studio and out in the wild you would think we should be able to confidently answer the question if the ‘X’ variant is capable of bettering the original D3.

However, it will be clear to anyone with some knowledge of camera technology that it’s impossible to come up with a definitive answer to this question. A large proportion of the D3x design is shared with the D3, so it does not come as a surprise that in many areas the two cameras perform identically. Nevertheless whilst in some areas the new model is undoubtedly better than the D3, in some areas it’s worse.

You can read all 33-pages of the concise D3x review over at dPreview.  I’ll give you a hint: they like it.
