Abstract: Thankfully, most of these cameras are not just nostalgic retro-design exercises, but are also technologically advanced, and so it is with the Nikon Df. The design of this wonderfully tough-looking camera is still inspiring, though, and the look and feel o...

Great image quality (of D4 standards), fast autofocus system works a treat, great design concept, manual control dials have their benefits, non-AI lens compatibility
Expensive, too big in our view, finish not as premium as it should be, no body-only option, front dial position can be awkward, always-on dial locks, less specified than lesser Nikon full-frame models
The Nikon Df could be called over-ambitious. With the likes of Fujifilm pulling off the retro style with stronger footing in functionality and Sony putting out the affordable Alpha A7 there are considerable alternative retro and full-frame options o...
Full, frame sensor, Small body, Traditional controls, Weatherproof
'Only' 16MP, No video recording, Expensive
The Df is a strangely indulgent camera. It's far too expensive to be an impulse purchase for most and there are better options available for professionals. A professional is more likely to go for the better-specified D4 or, if they want to save money or ...

Abstract: We will be honest, Nikon 's Df camera is one that we have been waiting for for a long time. It combines the absolute top end of Nikon's current photo technology with a lightweight body and awesome retro looks. It's a street photographer's dream. Why exact...
Superb sensor, Great noise control, Non-AI lens compatibility, Solid specification, Too big yet too light
Very pricey, Finish not quite as premium as it should be, No video, Disapointing maximum shutter speed, Awkward position of the exposure compensation dial
The Nikon Df is a fantastic DLSR in many respects, but it doesn't quite manage to re-imagine Nikon's classic SLRs in a way that we can recommend. If you want a full-frame Nikon, the D610 is a better choice.Next, read more camera reviews or try our pick of...
Abstract: Announced back in 2013, the Nikon Df was a radical departure from modern D-SLR design of the time. It took its inspiration from Nikon's classic film SLRs from the 1970s and 1980s, right down to the box-like body, chisel-edged pentaprism, leatherette panel...

Abstract: When applied to humans, the word “character” has two distinct meanings, an oddball or eccentric as in “Fred is a real character” or a morally upstanding person, as in “Charlie is a man of unimpeachable character.” When it comes to machines created by huma...
