If you've been waiting for a retro-styled D-SLR, then the Df is the camera for you. Not only does it embody the vintage charm of days gone by, it also comes with a top-of-the-range sensor with an incredible ISO performance. Although it's lacking certain c...
Amazing low-light capability, Love those dials, Excellent stills, Compatible with older Nikkor lenses
Too darn expensive, No video or Wi-Fi, Images dreadful at ISO 204,800
The Nikon Df is a mixed bag. We really wanted to love this camera, but sometimes memories are best left in the past. Given the price, the Df will appeal to the super rich who can afford such gadgets, and a very small group of photographers who are happy...

No builtin flash, No AF assist lamp, 5 fps burst mode is disappointing for a camera at this price point, AF coverage area is a bit small, Grip handle is quite small, No video mode, No GPS / WiFi / touchscreen
Although generally lacking in innovation, the Nikon Df boasts an excellent build and finish, first-rate image quality, a pleasant optical viewfinder and good levels of responsiveness—all the essentials for a DSLR. However, anyone looking for more versatil...
