Excellent image quality, especially in low light. Sturdy metal throwback controls for everything. Accepts preapertureindexing (Ai) Nikkor lenses from the days of yore. Solid build quality and classic aesthetics. Just a hell of a lot of fun to shoot with
Autofocus has a tough time locking in on some shots. No builtin flash. Doesn't shoot video. Storage is handled by a single SD card slot. Expensive

Great high ISO image quality. 5.5fps continuous shooting. 921k-dot rear display. Dial-based control system. 100-percent viewfinder. Full compatibility with older manual focus Nikkor lenses.
No video recording. Lacks focus assist beam and flash. ISO dial omits "A" setting. Retro design and chunky body clash. Modern focus screen not ideal for manual focus lenses. Shallow handgrip not a great match with larger lenses
The Nikon Df full-frame SLR camera lives half in the modern world and half in the analog era, and suffers a bit for it....

Very cool, classic look, excellent prolevel image quality, fabulous lowlight performer at high ISOs, fast performance, compatible with over 400 Nikon lenses from past and present
Magnesium alloy build feels plasticy, external dials are awkward to use for changing settings, no video capture mode
The Nikon Df is an odd duck of a camera but not an unattractive one. On the one hand, if you have an appreciation for iconic film cameras from the 1960s, '70s and '80s (in the interest of full disclosure, I have a small collection of these classic analogu...
Same sensor and processor as professional D4, Great image quality, Arguably the best availablelight shooter in its class, Handsome, retro styling, Weathersealed design, Big, clear fullframe viewfinder, Excellent battery life
Expensive, Bulky, yet handgrip is quite modest, Some controls are clumsy, Plastic body panels don't gel with retro aesthetic, Autofocus isn't in the same league as image quality, No AF assist lamp, No movie capture, No portrait grip, Single card slot
The full-frame, FX-format Nikon Df takes the same great sensor and processor pairing of the professional Nikon D4, and places them in a retro-styled body that, while occasionally clumsy, is undeniably handsome. Unfortunately, its autofocus system isn't t...
The Nikon Df is either a brave attempt to offer a simplified, back-to-basics photography tool, or a cynical attempt to cash-in on the current trend of retro-inspired products - only you can decide. Offering an undeniably lovely old-school design, a pleth...
