The Nikon Df is an interesting camera. With the look and feel of the legendary Nikon F series film cameras and Nikon’s best full frame sensor under the hood, this camera is a beauty. The catch? 3K ain’t cheap and it’s not perfect. The incredible low light sensor is the same as in the D4, considered by many the best photo-journalistic camera on the market today (which sells for 6K). The deal breaker for me is that its focusing in low light is not the best: here’s a camera that can capture amazingly clean images in low light but that has difficulty focusing in very dark settings. My decision: sit out on this one and wait for Nikon to come up with a new version including an appropriate high performance focusing system. Still, it’s a beauty.
