From dpreview:
The Nikon Df is a product that’s as much about invoking nostalgia as it is about capturing the moment. Its control setup, though slower than a modern DSLR layout, will appeal to anyone who wants a camera that feels more like a camera than an electronic device. However, despite an excellent imaging sensor, we think too many compromises were made on such an expensive camera.
Nikon caused quite a stir with the teaser campaign for the Df, mainly because it is a camera a lot of people have been asking for, for a long time. Sadly, the reality of using the camera doesn’t always vindicate that enthusiasm. To a great extent, Nikon has done a good job of combining the control logic of one of its film-era SLRs with the underpinnings of one of its contemporary models (or, at least, as well as could be expected). The problems come with the fact that those underpinnings come from the budget full frame model, the D610, and not the D800.
The Df is a pleasure to shoot with in good light and is capable of producing image quality consistent with its looks, pedigree and price tag. Metering is generally fairly reliable and white balance is really dependable. It’s also built around an excellent sensor that offers a useful balance of low-ISO dynamic range, low noise at high ISO and sufficient resolution. However, the question that presents itself is: ‘is this a half-price D4 or a D610 with a 50% markup?’
