Fullframe 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 ...
As someone who began their 'serious' photography with a Nikon SLR (the esteemed Nikon F), I should have been a prime target for the Df. And despite being put off by that depressing teaser video, on initial acquaintance I did warm to the camera's tradition...
Compatibility with non-AI lenses. Fantastic shutter sound. D4 image quality without the price tag. Excellent low-light and high ISO performance
Doesn't always feel like the film cameras it's trying to imitate. Kit lens doesn't come with an aperture ring. Mode dial is so small. Expensive compared to many other full-frame options
The Nikon Df is an excellent camera that delivers stellar image quality. But it's geared towards enthusiast photographers with lots of older lenses who are prepared to pay for the privilege....

Great sensor and image quality, Retro looks
Expensive, No video, Too big for a retro camera, Dials and controls need some more attention

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 ...
