The full frame sensor and small pixel count make for stunning image quality. ISO6400 can just about be used as the default setting. Auto focus and exposure are consistently perfect. Although the Df is big and heavy it feels well balanced in the hand. And

The price. It costs more than the 36 megapixel Nikon D800 which we consider the best DSLR we have used. You are paying for appearance
'Only' 16MP
No video recording
Expensive
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
A great camera, but you pay for the look, as well...

But who cares? The Nikon Df is more likely to be bought as a work of art than as a working camera. It is a fine camera in its own right and has recently won a Japanese camera industry prizes, presumably honoured for both form and function. But where Olymp...
Nikon's Df is a pro camera with creative users in mind. The dials, numbers, and overall design of the body hark back to different era, but they provide tactile control that is welcomed in this age of buttons and menus. The sensor is full frame, the speed...
As we noted at the start of this review, the Nikon Df is unlike any other digital camera there has ever been. Consequently, it isn't a ‘conventional' D-SLR. It seems that many reviewers have been tying themselves in knots trying to make the Df fit into Ni...

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...

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....
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...
