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 ...
