Old School Meets New School in Nikon Df Camera
Camera makers have been going through a throwback phase lately. It’s kind of like the NBA and NFL a couple years back with all the old-school jerseys.
The most talked about offering is the new
Df from Nikon. The camera looks like the original Nikon F from the late 1950s but has the same 16-megapixel full-frame sensor that you’d find in the flagship Nikon D4.
For those who care about camera styling, the Df is cool. If you just saw it from the front you’d never guess it was full of digital components. Nikon was also smart to go straight back to the F series for their design instead of trying to create some modern/old-school mashup like other companies.
If you don’t care about styling, however, the camera isn’t for you because it’s plenty expensive ($2,749.95) but doesn’t offer standard features like video, which you’ll get on most other cameras in that price range.
