Customer Ratings & Reviews

Was very excited about camera initially but disappointed after a couple of days use. Picture quality was great as it should be with the D4 sensor and having so many manual controls took me back to the Nikon FE and F3HP I owned years ago. When I compared it to my D700 and my brother's D800, it just didn't measure up feature wise. I returned it and bought the D800 which I love. Used the D800 for a few days, great images, great low light performance, tons of detail and dynamic range, controls almost exactly like my D700 made it an easy transition. The fact that I will always have a high definition video camera included in the camera should the need arise is a plus also. Nikon Df, very good camera, D800, great camera!

the Df is lightweight, but not to small. It's a pleasure to shoot with a prime lens mounted, and the 50 1.8G SE is a great match. Low light, high ISO results are outstanding. Any concerns I had about limitations were quelled after shooting indoor High School basketball with it.

I am heavily invested in the Nikon system. This camera has proven to be the compact camera I've been searching for. Very reminiscent of my first film SLR that I had when I was a kid. This camera along with current or vintage prime lenses is a pleasure to use.

I bought this camera in November 2024 from other store since this camera has been discontinued for years. However, it's nice to have this camera in 2025. The Df is a unique DSLR full frame camera that is a retro style camera. The manual dials are well-built, the Df has a great 16mp sensor that performs well in low light. The Df supports most of Nikon's F mount lenses from 1958 to present time. That also includes the non AI-S lenses. There are a few downsides to consider. The most notable downside is there is no video recording with this camera at all. The autofocus system is from Nikon's entry-level full frame D600/610 that has 39 autofocus points, but are mostly in the middle of the sensor and not well distributed. The other is it uses a different battery than the ones used in the D600/610, the D750/780, and the D800/810/850. That means if you own the other camera models and want to use the same batteries for the Df, that will not be an option. It only has one card slot. Lastly, the grip on the Df is not as deep as the camera models I listed previously. With the downsides listed, why buy this camera? It is meant to be a fun camera. If you own Nikon D lenses or older with an aperture ring on the lens, you, can use the Df like a fully manual camera without the need of changing film. It is wonderful how well this camera has for images with the sensor coming from Nikon's then D4 flagship camera. This camera was too expensive when released in 2013 at $2,750. The D800 at the time was listed at $3,000 and would have been the better option for professional work. In 2024/2025, a used Df is within consumer's reach and should consider this camera. No other DSLR is like this camera and it's no wonder that these used Dfs still cost over $1,000 when you can buy a D810 for less than a $1,000. I really like this camera and have no intention of selling it.

A lot of people put negative review with this item. I like this Df because it's really a good camera. The sensor is D4 and the settings are a big plus especially if you know film.
