The geometric hump of its glass pentaprism viewfinder and the dial-heavy top plate immediately signal the classic style elements of this camera, but this is not simply a case of retro form just for the sake of it. In addition to its state-of-the-art digital functions, the Df provides numerous features that have fallen by the wayside on modern DSLRs, but will certainly be appreciated by the strictly still enthusiasts out there. The shutter-release button has a port for a threaded manual shutter-release cable and yet the camera is also compatible with the updated WR Remote System. It also has both a hot-shoe mount compatible with all i-TTL speedlights and a PC sync port for more versatile flash options. And, thanks to a metering coupling lever, the Df features a mount system that works with older non-AI lenses as well as all current AF-S, AF-D, and AF NIKKOR lenses.
The Df’s 16.2MP FX-format image sensor is paired with the EXPEED 3 image processing engine for an optimal balance of resolution, image quality, and shooting speed. Its wide ISO range of 100-12800 is expandable down to 50 and up to 204800 and lets you capture sharp, low-light subjects with crisp edges. DX format crop mode is supported and DX format lenses are compatible when the camera employs the 24 x 16mm DX image area. The Df incorporates the best features of Nikon’s various DSLR models. For example, its 39-point autofocus system with 9 cross-type sensors quickly achieves sharp focus. Nikon’s 3D-tracking focus with a 2,016-pixel RGB sensor is particularly adept at holding focus on a moving subject as it crosses through the frame. A Spot White Balance feature enables you to target specific areas of your composition for a simple color correction. Incorporating JPEG, RAW, and TIFF capture, the Df can continuously shoot up to 5.5 fps in full resolution and its maximum shutter speed is 1/4000 second.
The Df is the thinnest, lightest full-frame DSLR that Nikon offers and it has a rugged, yet comfortable, build. A magnesium-alloy body with a dimpled rubber coating protects the camera from impact; a well-angled front hand grip and perfectly placed rear thumb grip ensure comfort as well as control during long shoots. The knurled metal dials are easily accessible, while shooting, and rotate smoothly.
With the optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter, it is easy to instantly share photos from the Df with your smartphone or tablet and then out to the waiting world. The Wi-Fi connection also lets you use your smartphone as a remote control for the camera. Nikon’s Scene Recognition System shows off the onboard intelligence of the Df, enabling you to let the camera adjust aperture, white balance, shutter speed, and flash for balanced images. Built-in HDR automatically combines two shots into one high-dynamic-range image and a newly formulated Active-D Lighting brightens shadows for help in a wide variety of settings. The Df also offers Picture Controls such as Vivid, Monochrome, and Landscape mode to add creative control over your images.
With an updated exterior design, the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Special Edition lens is a perfect match for the Df. It features a classic exterior with an easy-to-grip knurled focus ring and also features Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for fast, smooth, and silent autofocus. With the SWM, full-time manual focus override is always available and is certainly complemented by the precise focus ring on this lens. A maximum aperture of f/1.8 is very effective when shooting in low light, and creates shallow depth of field for sharp focus on your subject with a pleasing out-of-focus background area. The 50mm focal length provides a natural perspective, which accommodates numerous specific applications and is ideal as your day-to-day lens. When used with the DX format available on the Df DSLR, the equivalent focal length is 75mm, which expands its versatility into a full-fledged, fast portrait-length lens.

Lynn Goldsmith delights in the sheer freedom that digital cameras like the Df have brought to her professional life, since she used to be compelled to carry at least five film cameras in the field to accommodate different ISO settings, color, or black-and-white film.
Bob Krist, as a travel photographer, takes a "less is more" approach to gear, since his goal is to be dropped "behind cultural lines" to make his images and be as lightly laden with equipment and acquire his images as unobtrusively as possible.
Joe McNally discusses the moment he first picked up a digital camera and went from being a film photographer to a digital photographer. He was impressed with how well the Df tracked movement and performed as he photographed Mexican charros (cowboys) at a rodeo competition.
The theme that runs through these three conversations is the freedom and flexibility that a small, full-frame digital SLR, such as the Nikon Df, has brought to their quests for image making and how they have been enabled to further express their individual vision, with a mere fraction of the gear they used to carry.
