In a way this sums it up , them dials are not so easy to use when using gloves , Nikon did not even try t´ make it so , witness the on/off switch which is a shutterbutton collar reminiscent of the Nikon F , nigh impossible to use when wearing gloves,the front wheel falls under the middlefinger , yet a fingered glove might not move it , however inadvertantly moving those dials can n`t be done as they `ll have t` be unlocked.The Big D`s are easy t` use with ( thin ) gloves , I suspect that Nikon took a hard look at their offerings and decided that all those goodies look alike , yet require a shopping list to show the differences , Confusing to say the least , a camera that was radically different was needed , signalling and delivering Superb Photographic Quality , without those bells and whistles that are only in the way ,yet with a good deal of familiarity , and the Df answers that in every aspect , I wonder if this is the establishing of TWO easilly distinguishable Pro-lines , ( 1 ) the resurrection of a picture taking tool , functioning flawlessly within its limitations ( forget about gloves ) , ( 2 ) and the big D`s with bells and whistles and being glove friendly , both being capable to deliver stunning photo quality , the price has been mentioned a few times as being costly , and I too would like to pay much less , and yet ,as it seems that the Df `s photo capabilities seem to rival those of the D4 , and the D4 costing about twice as much as the Df due to its video capibility , shows video comes at a hefty price tag , something I do n`t need/want in my " snappy " , so no more confusing poor little me , plus I`m getting a step closer to that PC E Nikkor 24 , and hoping for prices t` come down is another valid reason t`wait a year , but not a day longer .
sorry JK
