Indeed, it's a poor review.

Need I say more after such a comment.

Okay, ISO 3200, on a studio camera, get real. We already knew this wasn't a camera for underexposed low noise results, it requires proper exposure and controlled lighting (or bracketing) to make stunning images.
Judging based on OOC JPEG's, get real. Ever heard of good Raw conversions, deconvolution capture sharpening?

Nikon have had more time to get their lenses in shape for hi rez.

The 5DS R has a low-pass canceling filter, and the redesigned for digital lenses of recent years are quite good, even the zooms. What apertures were they using? Looking at Diffraction at the pixel level? I'd suspect the tester's Capture sharpening skills are also poor or non-existing.

Try a Raw conversion (even with a mediocre converter like ACR) of one of the base ISO shots at Imaging Resource, and use proper Capture sharpening. Resolution is excellent, as expected, color looks nice but we need to wait for e.g. Capture One's take on Raw conversions and ICC profiling to compare with ACR.

Cheers,
Bart

Does anyone really read Cnet for camera reviews?

Well.. not really but, it doesn't mean necessarily that they are bad or inaccurate and sometimes you just do it for sake of it! But what's wrong with Cnet anyhow? Any bad experience with them or just simply prejudice?

Predjudice is a strong word. If I were looking to buy a new phone or computer, Cnet would be a place I would look. A high end camera, not so much.
