Nikon Df Review
Nikon Df review: New low light champion?
Introduction Following a series of TV teaser spots filmed in the Scottish Highlands, the somewhat controversially styled ‘retro’ Nikon Df was finally launched in October. Although the Df is a fully-fledged digital AF camera on the inside, the exterior is reminiscent of the firm’s earlier film-era models of the 70s and 80s.Despite the retro-appearance with the top plate bristling with metal dials and levers, the Df has a 39-point AF system using the Multi-Cam 4800 AF module from the D610 and the 16-Mpix CMOS sensor and image pipeline from the flagship D4.Like that model sensitivity runs
