Nikon introduced the Df DSLR camera, hyping it as a "classic-styled" machine. But do we really need a classic, or just something more functional for the working shooter out there? After all, if all you want is a pretty camera or collector's item to sit in a drawer or showcase, then buy a Leica. What's more, the sensor on the Df is smaller even than on the D600/D610 - or, for that matter, the D5300 (albeit, the D5300 is APS-C, not full-frame). And get a load of that price. Might as well buy a Nikon D800.
Anyway, here's the 411 on the new camera, per Nikon. If you're really in the market for this sort of thing.
Although, you do have to admit, it does look enticing...
Nikon Df:
· Classic Nikon design cues, with solid build and mechanical controls
o Sophisticated physical/mechanical controls for settings and adjustments
· Imaging and low-light performance inherited from Nikon’s flagship D4 D-SLR
o Large 36 x 23.9mm, 16.2 MP FX-Format CMOS sensor
o EXPEED 3 image processing engine propels image quality to the next level
o Exceptionally wide ISO range from 100-12,800, expandable to 204,800 for superb low-light performance
· Nikon’s thinnest and lightest FX-format D-SLR
· 39-point AF system with nine cross-type sensors and continuous burst shooting up to 5.5 fps ensures precision and clarity when capturing moving subjects
· 2016-Pixel Matrix Metering and Scene Recognition System ensure proper camera settings for every shooting scenario
· Easy to create with a 3.2-inch LCD display and glass optical viewfinder
· Wi-Fi connectivity available with use of optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter, allowing for instant download and sharing to smart devices or remote firing of the camera
· Reaching back into the NIKKOR lens legacy, the Df is compatible with current AF, AF-S, DX and AF-D lenses, but also works with classic Ai and non-Ai NIKKOR glass
· Full compatibility with Nikon’s Creative Lighting System and WR remote systems
· Available in late November 2013, in classic silver and black color schemes at a suggested retail price (SRP) of $2,749.95 (body only). A kit will also be available with the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8 Special Edition Lens for $2,999.95 (SRP)
