Pros: Best ergonomics with manual focus lenses (Nikkor, Zeiss, Voigtländer...). Excellent sensor. Reasonable size and weight. Endless battery life with MF lenses.

Cons: Expensive. Relatively small AF zone. One-handed exposure compensation operation is not easy.

Opinion: When I bought it in 2014, it was supposed to be my backup camera, flanking the D800. Within months, it became my main, and most of the time my only camera. It is my *daily* companion since then (we are in 2021). This preference coincides with my other preference, namely for compact manual focus lenses. Being able to operate the aperture ring keeps the left hand busy; besides, the aperture wheel (on the front right) is a bit too small and stiff, which hurts your fingers. Ergonomics aside, the main reason for the preference over the D800 is, the sensor delivers better images (better color balance, lower noise at equal viewing size; about 1 EV advantage). I can be safely used up to 12800 ISO (color) or 25600 ISO (B&W). To feel comfortable, the Df should be used with a DK-17M magnifying eyepiece; it does not restrain the field of view if you do not wear glasses. The "Quiet" mode is sure not very quiet compared to a Leica, but still very useful (less noise of course, and a gentler mirror slap).

Pros: the perfect camera for travel; lightweight body, very good quality of jpg, battery life

Cons: battery cover comes off: never try to change the battery during a walk; the price

Opinion: The review is based on the experience with the previous equipment: from the Russian range-finder zorki 4 through DDR-made practica MTL3, and finally: Nikons: F601m, F100, FM2, FM3a, D700, D5500, D7100. Unfortunately, the images conveyed by diapositives (Fuji velvia100, 50; provia 100) shown on a large screen (160 cm) cannot be compared with the digital images on 30 inch monitor. From all respects the former make a better impression, at least regarding the color tones and making an impression of multi-plan views. The photos shown in my modest galleries here do not reflect the overall attractiveness of dias. Moreover, Fuji reala 100 gave beautiful color tones. Since now both velvia and reala disappeared we have to use digital cameras. They should be compared only with their digital counterparts. Nikon D700 gives very good images of human faces and close lying subjects. Since its jpg s are unusable it is very inconvenient for travel photography. We have to reckon with spending hundreds of hours at PP. I have also tried D750 for 3 days and happily returned it to the shop, since 10 % of images were unsharp (with nikkor 24-120 f4*). The jpgs were very precise but mostly ugly and unattractive. Nikon D7100 cannot be used indoors without a flash, since max ISO is ca 800. This is a good camera for a good weather. I guess that D8XX will be similar, but I have no experience. Nikon Df is free of these drawbacks It can be used as a travel camera in all cases: outdoor and indoor. The jpg files at standard settings are attractive and, simultaneously, highly correct. Be careful with raw files-they are huge. The peculiar feature of Nikon Df is very accurate and pleasing rendering of green shades, which is a crucial factor in the landscape photography. In contrast, all other cameras mentioned above render the green colors of nature incorrectly. The worst tones appear during the sunsets. Nikon Df is a tactile camera; the change of settings can be done without putting the body to our eyes. This is vitally important for our safety, when we walk along the stones of mountain ridges , cross the rocky saddles, traverse the hillsides. On the other hand the constant change of settings is indispensable in forests, e.g. going along levadas of Madeira, we have to introduce the exposure compensation carefully (e.g -.7) and have a constant control over ISO. ************************************************************************************************************************ * Now I know that this lens was in fact spoiled, just D750 disclosed its defficiency; this lens failed to work some months later. Thus, this lens should not be bought used, it is very delicate, the reason is VR. I am withdrawing hereby my criticism towards AF in D750, but jpgs are much worse than those from Df.

Pros: Aesthetics, qualitatively satisfactory photos

Cons: For now nothing

Opinion: Socket (black) more for fun than for necessity (used but as new with about 27 thousand shots) I found in my hands something spectacular. Going around with the DF is something unique. He is 10 years old and the images he pulls out are the same as the other two Nikon I have (D3x and D810 that more or less, are from the same period so it's normal) but using the Df is more pleasant. I put a thin and very short strap on it and you hold it in your hand very comfortably. By default above there is mounted a Nikon af 1.8 50ino perfectly in sync with the philosophy of the Df and every now and then I mount some manual focus AI optics. The split image viewfinder (also as an option) would have been welcome. Oh, I forgot; with the DF it was love at first sight when I saw it for the first time in the hands of the American actor Jason Statham in the film Mechanic Resurrection ...

Pros: Beautiful aesthetics - manual rings - sensor - image quality - excellent construction

Cons: Not excellent autofocus - viewfinder derived from the D610

Opinion: The Nikon Df is a very particular FF SLR, it prefers photography thought, calmly and carefully, without haste. It takes longer to set the parameters, due to the manual, delicate, solid metal bezels. It will come out of your closet on fewer occasions than other camera bodies, remaining more reserved and protected. In short, it is not the SLR to use every day, according to my point of view. It is that camera body designed to be used on special and special occasions. This is why mother Nikon has castrated her in some respects compared to other bodies. In fact, the autofocus and the viewfinder are those derived from the Nikon D610, not really a lightning bolt of war as regards the speed of action in the shot. But these are the only (and justified) downsides, if we have to call them that. For the rest, well, it is a small Japanese jewel. The aesthetics are sublime, you would stay to admire it for hours. Every detail is taken care of and the metal rings that make the shot slower, are a real pleasure for the eyes. Each parameter has a dedicated one. A real blast from the past but with modern technologies! The image quality, needless to say, is very high. The Df has in fact the same sensor as the Nikon D4 16 mpx, which are not many, but in my opinion they are the right compromise, as well as guaranteeing excellent high ISO performance. In conclusion, I would recommend this SLR to those who have the pleasure of shooting as this camera requires, and to those who want to try to hold an old-school camera in their hands, always remaining firmly in the present.
