Verdict

The Nikon Df is a retro-styled full-frame DSLR that combines the flagship 16.2MP FX-format sensor and EXPEED 3 processor from the professional D4 into Nikon's lightest magnesium alloy body. It features dedicated mechanical dials for ISO, shutter speed, and exposure compensation, alongside a 39-point AF system (Multi-CAM 4800) and an impressive 1,400-shot battery life. Its primary strengths are world-class low-light performance with an ISO range expandable to 204,800, a large 100% coverage optical pentaprism viewfinder, and unique compatibility with non-AI vintage lenses via a collapsible metering coupling lever. However, notable drawbacks include a maximum shutter speed limited to 1/4000s, the complete absence of video recording capabilities, a single SD card slot, and an AF array that is relatively cramped in the center of the frame and prone to hunting in dim conditions.
