Nikon certainly threw a curve ball with the Df. On the one hand it has the first-rate sensor of the D4 in a much more compact and lighter weight body, but the choice of retro controls appears to be a step backwards.They make sense with older manual focus...
Abstract: For those who grew-up with, learnt on or just enjoyed using some of Nikon's classic film SLRs such as the F3 or the FM2, there has been a desire to see Nikon produce a digital equivalent since the arrival of the D1 almost 15 years ago. It's perhaps tha...
Abstract: Months before it was revealed to the public, Jeremy Walker became the first person in the UK to use Nikon's new retro-styled, full frame Df DSLR when he was asked to use it to shoot the images for the brochure. In this exclusive interview with WDC Jere...

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
