Nikon Df... Tempted but no.

Post by Stany Buyle »

•Df "looks very attractive
•The D4 sensor (probably even optimized) is extremely tempting for someone who needs often high iso (like me).
•Several other Df specs are tempting...
•Lack of video is no problem for me, and for amateur video usage my Nokia 808 does that way better than my D800 anyhow

but...

The even smaller AF coverage than my D800 (I would love AF coverage in FX the same proportion as DX) ruins the party.
I would rather add a D400 DX (D300 body with D7100 sensor, which I expect it to be real early 2014) to my equipment than an FX with a crippled AF coverage.

And last but not least: Df price is ridiculous high for "a crippled D610 with retro looks" as Frits De Vries mentioned..

Just my thoughts...

Kindest regards,
Stany
