  • Abstract:  What do you get when you try and fuse the past with the future? That's the question Nikon seems to be posing with its latest offering – the DF. It's the kind of camera that has its roots in the past, with a design philosophy straight from the film cameras...

  • Weather sealed body, Excellent image quality from the D4 sensor, Great battery life
  • Grossly overpriced, No video, Cumbersome to use
  • It may seem like we haven't taken the Nikon Df too well. That is actually not true. We love the images it produces but what we do firmly believe is that this is not a camera for everyone. The dials and the locks on the dials make it time consuming to fly ...

  • Weather sealed body, Excellent image quality from the D4 sensor, Great battery life
  • Grossly overpriced, No video, Cumbersome to use
  • The Nikon Df is a modern day reincarnate of Nikon's glorious days from the past. A Digital Fusion of form, design and function, the Nikon Df is the latest full frame from the company, boasting the same sensor as the D4. However, the camera leaves a lot to...

  • Solid retro style and build, The best image quality around, Awesome manual control
  • Sluggish focus in low light, Some fiddly ergonomics, No video capture
  • The Nikon Df seems to achieve most of what it sets out to: it's suitably classic-looking without compromising too much on handling, it takes amazing photos, and it's taken a very clear aim at purist photo enthusiasts. We'd question the worth of dropping v...

  • Abstract:  Digital photography's benefit of eschewing the need to develop film has many of us not looking back, but for those who love to blend personal style with photography, or just have a hipster's inclinations, the Nikon Df might be the camera for you.Looking l...

  • Lightest FX body in Nikon's stable, High battery life, Stellar image quality, High ISO low noise images
  • Retro controls are clunky, Digital 'fusion' is inconsistent, Front dial is stiff and hard to use, AF points are bunched in the center
  • The Nikon Df can be described as a camera with a D4 sensor inside a retro body with the lacklustre AF system from the entry-level full-frame D610. The D4 sensor is stellar and is the only reason I would recommend the camera for, since you're basically get...

  • Abstract:  The retro look has been a feature in cameras throughout 2013, thanks to the Olympus Pen E-P1 and Fujifilm X100 camera. Nikon's much-touted Df, or Digital Fusion, is the latest to join the party.There are two main camps on retro cameras. One subscribes to ...
